Doylestown Summer Concert Series

At breakneck speed, and being invited to play literally the night before, the group performed four pieces during the intermission of the summer concert series. A special thanks goes out to the saxophones, a line which was composed of entirely substitute players. This performance would not have been possible without them, and they tackled some hard charts head-on, without any prior rehearsal with the group.
