Last week, we had the opportunity to host world famous jazz artist Kenny Rampton of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for a clinic with the Foreman Jazz Ensemble! Thank you to @chicagosymphony and @jazzinstitute for coordinating this incredible experience for our students!
The Foreman Jazz Ensemble was accepted into the @jazzinstitute's Jazz Links Jazz Masters Residency Program! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to host world class trumpeter Victor Garcia as an artist in residence next semester. We can't wait to get started!
Students in Foreman's Digital Media class are studying photos and delighted in finding relatives from past yearbooks. <3 #foremanual #foremanhornets #cte #foremanartists
Junior trombonist Jessica Kesler has been working hard on a transcription of New York City trombonist Robert Edwards' solo on the jazz standard You Make Me Feel So Young. Here she is performing a section of the solo.

The Foreman summer band group had a great time celebrating a month of hard work by taking an architecture boat tour on the Chicago River! In total, 11 students took time out of their summer break to take individual and group lessons to develop their musical skills.
We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to offer a summer band program. Thanks to @Mr_Escamilla1 and our program coordinators @Ms_LParedes and Ms. Ingram for helping make it happen!
