Elon Elementary students were treated to a toe-tapping performance today thanks to the talented Western Alamance High School Jazz Band! 🎷🥁 The musicians played jazzy renditions of holiday classics that had the whole gym clapping and singing along. 👏 Band director Michael Jefferson introduced the high schoolers and their instruments, giving the Elon students an idea of each one's role and sound. Perhaps we'll see some of them take up the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, or other instruments when they reach middle school! 🎺 We're grateful to Mr. Jefferson and the WA Jazz Band for the fantastic performance! 🎄❤️
