Editor,

Several hundred people gathered Sunday evening for Trinity Lutheran Church’s “burn the mortgage” celebration. Food, conversation and fun was abundant. Then, an additional highlight captured the crowd.

Langley Middle School students, led by their highly energetic and passionate band leader — a first-year teacher — performed. Abundant talent with captivating head-bobbing and finger-snapping beats exceeded expectation for any young jazz band.

These kids and their teacher are terrific. The audience smiled and applauded each jazzy selection. The kids looked like they, too, were having fun. If the opportunity presents itself, go see the talented brilliance of this group of musicians. You won’t be disappointed and you will be energized.

Bravo!
