Jazz—America’s music—filled the halls of Booker T. Washington High yesterday as our students participated in the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz’s National Peer-to-Peer Jazz Education Program! 🎷 Featuring internationally acclaimed saxophonist Don Braden and vocalist Lisa Henry, along with some of the best young musicians from across the country, this event was an unforgettable day of music, learning, and inspiration. As one of only eight districts nationwide selected, our students collaborated in workshops with gifted high school musicians. Huge thanks to the Herbie Hancock Institute for this amazing opportunity! #TheresMoreWithMPS #MPSRising
