King Student Part of Jazz Ensemble Heading to NYC |
Robert Larry (far left) has grown from the days of annoying his brothers with his homemade drum set, comprised of empty paint cans, pots and pans, plastic bins and a pair of steel spatulas. The Rufus King High School student has become a leader in King's band, jazz band and drum line, thanks in part to the extra learning opportunities provided by the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music. Robert is a member of the WCM’s Jazz Institute Batterman Ensemble that was selected as a finalist to compete in the 2012 Charles Mingus High School Jazz Competition in New York City last month. The WCM programs and scholarships are partially supported by the MPS Partnership for the Arts. |
