Patrick guest solos with the Goddard High School & Goddard Middle School Jazz Ensembles

March 8th, 2017

Influenced by a recently purchased Hession's Sessions Guide, Brett Morrison invited Patrick to participate in a "Maynard Day" with his Goddard High School and Goddard Middle School Jazz Ensembles in Goddard, Kansas. Patrick rehearsed with the High School Jazz Ensemble at 8:30 AM followed by a tornado drill, and then finally a clinic with the trumpet section. After lunch, Brett then took Patrick to teach another clinic at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. After a little break and less than 45 minutes to showtime, Patrick rehearsed with the Goddard Middle School Jazz Ensemble for their portion of the evening's concert. The evening was a huge success and the bands got a well-deserved standing ovation.
Thank you letter from Brett Morrison.
