Following the jazz combo performance, the stage will be open to anyone in the audience who would like join in a jam session. Attendees are encouraged to bring their instruments and be ready to perform.
Students in the jazz combo include Michael Estrada of San Angelo (guitar), Mario Larios-Garcia of San Antonio (saxophone), Colby Lehnert of Carrollton (trombone), Will Tipton of Carlsbad (trumpet), Mark Wilson Jr. of San Angelo (bass) and Jayden Woodard of Brownwood (saxophone).
