The Spring Jazz Concert on May 19, 2018 had numerous memorable moments. The evening started with a combined number featuring all three jazz bands and a House Resolution presented to retiring director Craig Roselieb from Illinois Representative David Olsen, an alum of the DGS Jazz Program. Jazz Workshop, Jazz Lab Band, and the Jazz Ensemble performed 17 selections, representing music from numerous jazz genres and historical time periods. The evening concluded with two alumni jazz bands, featuring more than 30 performing musicians who returned to DGS for the specific purpose of celebrating the career of Mr. Roselieb through fellowship and music. We bid a heartfelt fond farewell to the graduating class of 17 jazz seniors - you've created a significant sonic footprint which will be inspirational to those who are fortunate to walk behind you.
