Park City High School Jazz Ensemble
This week I coincidentally saw and heard a very impressive group of young people twice. On Wednesday I spent St. Patrick’s Day at O’Shuck’s in the Quarry Village Shopping Center at Jeremy Ranch (next to Soirée Productions) and a group of young musicians were entertaining the guests. Into the evening, I found out these amazing entertainers are recent graduates of Park City High School and they are all on music scholarships at various universities. I was impressed all around as they were incredibly talented and professional. Then last night my son who is in 6th grade, had a homework assignment. His homework requested him to attend a music show and write what he liked and didn’t. Our family decided to join him at the Park City High School Jazz Ensemble Show–What a show it was! An amazing group of young people from 8th grade to 12th performed various jazz pieces on their saxophones, trombones, trumpets, piano and other musical instruments. Piece after piece I was continually impressed. These young musicians were amazing. I decided to write about it because I would hire and recommend them for a wedding. They were as professional and entertaining as any group I have hired in the past and paid top dollar for. They were amazing and incredibly talented. If you are planning a wedding and looking for a great group of musicians to entertain your guests during cocktail hour or to provide wonderful dinner music, I would highly recommend the Park City High School Jazz Ensemble. I don’t know if they hire out but I think this would be a great way for them to earn money for their amazing program or to support the individuals with future endeavors. The group is lead by Mr. Chris Taylor. I am going to call Mr. Taylor and find out if his group is available for hire, but in the meantime if you are planning a party or wedding you might want to contact him too (ctaylor@pcschools.us). Congratulations Mr. Taylor to you and your wonderful musicians.
