Jazz Runners Band selections will include such standards as “Birdland,” “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Route 66.”
The choirs are under the direction of Ron Sayer, Music Arts program coordinator and instructor, and the jazz band is under the direction of Britt Faaborg, adjunct instructor of music. Staff accompanist Gwendolyn Kappelman will accompany the choirs.
