Proud moment: one of our HMS students was recognized as the 🏆 Best Bassist of the Festival 🎸, standing out among both middle school and high school musicians at the Palo Alto Jazz Festival 🎷🎺
Hard work 💪, dedication 📚, and passion ❤️ paying off in a big way—well deserved! 👏🎉
Let’s give some positive vibes in the comments for this amazing accomplishment! 🙌💬
This past Friday the HMS Jazz Band competed in the Fiesta Jazz Festival at St. Mary’s University. The band performed at the highest level of musicianship possible and out of 16 middle school Jazz bands they placed First! Earning the title of Grand Champions for the Festival in the middle school division. What a great way to end the season. If you would like to hear our Jazz Band live they will be performing May 13 at Harlandale HS. Come see what the hype is about!
In addition, Mr. Ybarra earned the award for Outstanding Middle School Director for Excellence in Jazz Education.
