Founded in Jacksonville, FL, in 1969 and once based in Macon, GA, the Allman Brothers Band has been called the "architects of Southern rock." They also incorporate elements blues, jazz, and country music, and their live performances include jam-band style improvisation and instrumental songs.
Considered primarily a heavy metal or hard rock band, Led Zeppelin was founded about the same time in England. Even thirty years after disbanding following drummer John Bonham's death in 1980, the band continues to be held in high regard for their artistic achievements, commercial success, and broad influence.
Tuesday's concert will also be the final performance as JA Band members for our four seniors, Will Commarato, John Humphreys, Kevin Lowery, & Jonathan Sandlin. These seniors have had an amazing six years with the JA Band, including a Class A National Championship, Regional Championships at Atlanta, St. Louis, & San Antonio, an incredible Concert Band tour via Amtrak to Chicago, and much recognition as individual student musicians.Please invite family and friends for what should be a rocking event in a wonderful facility. There will be no admission charge for the concert.
