Jazz Band & Choir to
Perform Lunch Concert Oct. 9
TIFTON - Enjoy
some terrific music with your lunch in the Donaldson Dining Hall on Oct. 9 when
the ABAC Music Department and the Music Educators National Conference (MENC)
present a jazz concert from 12:15-1:45 p.m.
The concert, featuring the ABAC Jazz
Choir and Jazz Band, is open to ABAC students, faculty, and staff. This fall’s
show promises to provide great food and entertainment for everyone.
The ABAC Jazz Choir, directed by Dr. Susan Roe, will
present several selections that are well know in today’s culture as
spellbinding tunes. The group will present a
Beatles Medley, followed by standard Jazz tunes from the different eras of Jazz.
The ABAC Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Don
Coates, is geared to captivate and enthrall the audience with sounds of swing
and blues. Many of their tunes will be Contemporary Jazz Selections.
Other musical events planned for the fall semester include
the Jazz Choir on stage at the ABAC building at the Sunbelt Expo on Oct. 15,
the Jazz Band on the same Expo stage on Oct. 16, Dr. Susan Roe’s Concert Choir
in Howard Auditorium on Nov. 18 for its fall concert, and Woody Leonard’s
Concert Band in the same venue on Nov. 20 for its fall concert. Both fall concerts begin at 7 p.m. There is no charge for admission. The Concert Band is made up of more than 85
students, and the choir has more than 75 students.
