Despite their performances looking a little different this year, 24 Carroll Jazz Band musicians still got to audition and qualify for the All-Region Jazz Ensemble.
After virtually auditioning for all-region last week, the Carroll Jazz Band earned 24 out of 40 available spots between the two jazz ensembles, according to MySouthlakeNews.com. In addition, 14 students also qualified for area and will have the chance to record another audition for the All-State Jazz Ensemble.
Congratulations to these Dragons: alto saxophonists Justin Wu and Logan Clay; tenor saxophonist Joe Sweeney, Henry Thompson and Bates Pulliam; baritone saxophonist Diego Pena; trumpeters Chase Adams, Callum Andrews, Hudson Koonsman, Alex Estridge, PJ Owston; trombonist Chris Estridge, Austin Smallwood, Jack Kester, Riley Silfies, Nicole Krishna; bass trombonists Kyle Mulvihill and Jake Bonanno; guitarist Monil Parekh; pianists Tom Kersen and Alexander Feng and drummers Charlie Hook, Will Gornell and Carter Adams.
