Arts Alive Jazz at the 2002 Illinois State Fair

Once again, the Arts Alive! Jazz Band hopped on the bus and headed to the Illinois State Fair on Park District and Conservation Day.  As is always the case, the only thing hotter than the band was the weather. A big “thank you” goes out to Suzanne McFadyen for serving as our photographer!

Pam, Judy, Linda and Andy enjoy the spacious comforts of motor coach travel.

Doody and Lisa Z strictly follow the “no beer” rule!

Hey...that's us!

The Arts Alive! Chorale also made the trip to the State Fair.
Bob (standing, center) is either singing an awesome “doo-wop” solo
or the carnival food is starting to fight back.

Our sax section in action.

Our trombone section hard at work.

Our trumpet section rips through another chart.

Ron G. and his bari-sax in a scintillating solo.

There's nothing like good sax, and here is Bob Good on an alto solo.

Brian is caught on camera using “zoom” technology.

Why is Dan smiling? Doody has just been pinned. (See inset, lower right.)

With his mother Judy's blessing, the Jazz Band dedicated
the 2002 State Fair trip to their dear departed friend Eric Healy.
Zigga-zagga-zigga-zagga...hoy, hoy, hoy!
