The Spirit Lake Jazz Band performed for the Iowa Great Lakes Rotary at their regular noon meeting on Wednesday, March 18. The group performed four numbers under the direction of Jody Ingwersen.

 

The Spirit Lake Jazz band consists of 20 students who auditioned in October and started rehearsals soon after marching band season in the fall. Their commitment, dedication and talent has qualified them once again for the Iowa Jazz Championships to be held in Des Moines April 14 along with eleven other 3A schools across the state!

Jody Ingwersen is in her 10th year of teaching instrumental music in the Spirit Lake schooled and her first year as the high school band director.
