Gateway's Jazz Band Strikes the Right Note
March 25th, 2010
Last summer, parents Cindy and David Wilson along with a team of dedicated parents and principal Sharon Olken worked to launch a music program at Gateway. Through community outreach, these special parents outfitted the music room with drums, keyboards, a guitar, a sound system, music stands, and more. There are 22 students in the class taught by the very talented jazz professional Dee Spencer. During a time when school funding is being slashed, it is exciting to add a great jazz program to the electives at Gateway.
Special thanks to Daniel Swan of Swan Entertainment, Dawn Richardson (Drummer extraordinaire), and Nick Rossi for donations of equipment and instruments for the program.
