Congrats to Jefferson High School's 2nd period Jazz Ensemble on their first-place win at the West Virginia State Jazz Festival! The group was designated High School Honor Jazz Ensemble by the West Virginia Bandmasters Association and performed at the West Virginia Music Educators Conference in Charleston last week. And in another big win, Jefferson High's 5th period Jazz Ensemble earned the second-place spot at the jazz festival! It's the first time in the event's history that the top two bands in the state came from the same school. Go Cougars!
The JHS Cougar Closet is in need of donations: tops, bottoms, shoes, and socks. Questions, please email Mrs. Chrisman at amchrisman@k12.wv.us.
