Bio
The town of Keene and surrounding communities have been tremendously supportive of this jazz band. The school has two big concerts each year, plus a series of four "Cafe Night" performances. The jazz band draws a big, enthusiastic crowd to all of these events.
Here are a couple of endorsements:
"I urge you to invite the Keene Central School Jazz Band to participate in this year's Burlington Jazz Festival. Its performance is the highlight of each concert at KCS." Barbara Strowger, President emeritus, East Branch Friends of the Arts
"When Bill Stokes asked me if I would write a recommendation letter for the Keene Valley Jazz Band to participate in the Burlington Jazz Festival, I gave him an enthusiastic yes.
When I first heard his band rehearse and perform (about a year ago) I was impressed. Being a small school district, I was blown away with the excitement, musicianship and enthusiasm of the group. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing the band both rehearse and perform several times in the past year, and their participation in the Burlington Festival would be both a wonderful experience for the Keene Valley students, as well as a benefit to your festival.
For your information, my musical experience includes 21 years as principal percussionist in the West Point Band, and 12 years teaching instrumental music in New York State public schools. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Warren T. Gallic"
