The NorMan Jazz Festival is being held in Thompson this weekend.  Music teacher Anna Harrison says they are taking three ensembles including the grade 8 Junior Band, grade 9 and 10 Intermediate Band and Grade 9 to 12 Senior Band.  She says they’ll be taking part in the full band workshops as well as some sectionals and observation of different sessions that are going on so they’ll get to bring some repertoire with them that they’re working on and have some clinics with some jazz experts that they’re bringing in from the Winnipeg and Brandon region.

All the northern students attending will present a public concert to wrap up the weekend Sunday at 1:30 at the R.D. Parker Collegiate in Thompson.
