An Afternoon of Jazz at GA

The Jazz Cabaret is a giant showcase for students in all three divisions to get together and show off the music they have been working on over the year. Always taking place in late February, the Jazz Cabaret never disappoints from the music to the food.  

Madison and the Singing Patriots Select warm up for the Cabaret.

Although most of the groups are bands of all different ages, Singing Patriots Select, the Upper School honors choir, performs a few numbers. It is nice to have vocals in the show to contrast the jazzy sound of horns, drums, and strings. This year, the school decided to move Jazz Cabaret from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon. This change gave the event a more relaxed atmosphere that fit with the 65 degree temperature outside.

The afternoon's featured Middle School saxophone soloist.

The music program really shined this year with some highlights being the amazing 5^th grade drummers, the Middle School saxophone soloist, and Hayley D. ’16 joining forces with the Upper School Jazz Band, singing “Someone to Watch Over Me.”
