KINGSTON, R.I. — March 1, 2013 — Some of the finest student jazz musicians in the state will be performing a free concert on Wednesday, March 20, and the public is invited. Hosted by the 溏心vlog免费B站’s Department of Music, the senior and junior divisions of the Rhode Island All-State Jazz Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. in the concert hall of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Fine Arts Center at 105 Upper College Road, Kingston.
These junior and senior high school jazz musicians, chosen by individual audition last fall, have been rehearsing since January to present the concert.

Concert director for the senior division will be Dan Yoder, director of Jazz Studies at Penn State School of Music.
The RI All-State Jazz Band is organized and sponsored by the Rhode Island Music Educators Association (RIMEA), who also oversee the audition process.
