The Knoxville Music Boosters will be hosting a jazz night on the square on Saturday, April 27th.

This event will start at 5:30 pm and be held on the courthouse lawn. The concert will feature the Knoxville High School Jazz Band, Knoxville Middle School Jazz Band, and the percussion ensemble. This is an opportunity for the high school music department to showcase their music and talents for the community in an open setting. Knoxville High School Band Director Michael Hornback encourages the community to come out to this event.

“At the end of the day we just have fun, and we make great music at the same time. You’re not going to come to this jazz night and see a bunch of kids just sitting there straight faced, playing the music how it’s written. You’re going to see them grooving, and having fun, maybe laughing in the middle of a performance which is totally fine. You’re going to see a great group of kids who have worked super hard.”
