Robinwood Lunch Menu for April
APRIL 9 AT 7 PM
Boardman's 22nd Annual BHS Jazz Fest is Tuesday, April 9 at 7 PM in the Boardman Performing Arts Center. This year's spring show welcomes two special guest artists who will add an extra dimension to the outstanding student musicians involved in Jazz Ensembles 1 & 2, the 8th Grade Jazz Ensemble, and the 2K24 Pop/Rock Band.
This year’s special guest artists are Mike Kamuf on Trumpet and Mark Zaleski on Alto sax. The Jazz Fest has consistently grown in popularity and attendance due to its tradition of high-quality performances and talented guest artists. Admission at the door is $3 and senior citizens are admitted free of charge. Doors open at 6:15.
“I was in the YSU Jazz Ensemble 1 and the Hollywood horn band with Mike Kamuf,” said Boardman Band Director Tom Ruggieri. “ Since our college days, Mike has become an award-winning public school teacher in Montgomery County, Maryland. He is also one of the lead composers/arrangers of band, jazz, and orchestra music for several publishing companies including Alfred Music. Kamuf has played and recorded with the Woody Herman, Tommy Dorsey, and Alan Baylock Orchestras.
Ruggieri met Mark Zaleski when his son was Zaleski’s student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. “Over the years, we arranged for him to visit my jazz rehearsals where he played and talked to my boardman students, who loved every minute. I vowed to get him back to Ohio to perform with us,” said Ruggieri.
Kamuf and Zaleski join a long list of guest artists who’ve added an incredible learning experience for our students on stage. Over the years, big names that include Jim Garber, Willie Murillo, James Morrison, Eric Marienthal, The Buddy Rich Big Band, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band have brought their skills to the BPAC stage, and left our students with unique experiences they will never forget.
A survey asking for input from Boardman Schools' stakeholders regarding the potential qualities, experience, and skills of the District's next superintendent was electronically shared out in early March. The District received a total of 534 responses from Spartan parents, students, staff, alumni and community members.
Board members want to thank all who participated in the survey process, and to let them know their input is very much appreciated. The Board intends to reflect on the results to help guide them as they navigate the search and interview process.
