Region Jazz Band: Making Royal History

For the first time in Royal history, Royal was represented in the Region 23/27 Jazz Band Ensemble.  Under the instruction and mentorship of Mr. Roderick Davenport (Royal Junior High Band Director and Royal High School Assistant Band Director), freshman trumpet playerJacob Pistor was invited to perform with the Region Jazz Band Ensemble. This elite group of just 22 student musicians from Houston and the surrounding areas performed on Saturday, January 14th under the direction of Mr. Andre Hayward, extremely gifted trombonist and music professor at Huston-Tillotson University and San Francisco Conservatory. 

Great job, Jake, and a big thank you to Mr. Davenport.
