Logan Whitmore, a sophomore at SFCHS, was one of five trumpet
players selected to perform with the High School Honor Jazz Band.
This small ensemble of 20 talented high school musicians presented
several well known jazz selections made famous by the Count Basie
Orchestra. The Jazz Band was under the direction of Clint Ashlock,
renowned jazz trumpeter, composer and arranger from Kansas
City.
This was Logan’s second year to be selected for the High School
Honor Jazz Band.
Congratulations Logan!
