Jazz Concert at UDC
By Dante Johnson (6th)

On Tuesday April 7, 2009 one night the Ile Omode middle school students from Oakland, California went to the Jazz Concert at UDC (University of the District of Columbia). They were very sleepy because it was there first day in DC, but they had to go to the concert. The music there was very smooth and relaxing, but when they went to the stage it was very hot. They were sweating and going to sleep.

So most of the students asked to go back down to the seats they were sitting in earlier. The jazz music was very relaxing. It was also very soothing. They had a very long day and the students were very tired so that is why they fell asleep. They weren’t trying to be disrespectful but they were very tired from other events that they went to all day.

During the concert there were four men playing. One of the men was playing the piano. One was playing the saxophone. One was playing the bass. Also one was playing the drums. Most of the students liked the beat on the drums because it stays with the rhythm of the beat.
