On Thursday, Dec. 12 Jesuit High School Sacramento’s Symphonic Band and Jazz Band will perform at their annual winter band concert in the Harris Center. 

Sam Gegax ’25 has been a member of the Symphonic and Jazz Band for the last four years. He is excited to see how far he and the rest of band have grown with their music throughout the year.

“This concert is exciting as it is my last winter band concert so personally I want to do well,” Sam said. “It is also a chance to see everyone’s progress so far as this concert is a marker for about halfway through the season to see where we are.”

Symphonic Band member Thomas Fallon ’25 attests to the skill of his fellow band members and urges people to come hear the great music at the band concert.

“We have always had a good showing of people in the past and our music in past concerts has been very good,” Thomas said. “People should come check out the band play as [...]our Symphonic and Jazz Bands are very good.”

Sam believes that everyone should go to the concert because it is a great way to support the hard work that the music program has put into this event.

“Everyone should go to the concert because the band puts in a lot of work to prepare for the concert,” Sam said. “This concert is not just for us but is also for others to listen to. You may also know someone in band and they have worked really hard on this concert so a great way to support your friends is to go to the concert.”

The Symphonic Band will perform their usual concert music, while the Jazz Band will perform Christmas songs. Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the music that the bands have worked diligently to share.
