Students Perform for Charleston Jazz Festival 2022

On Sunday, April 24th it was the local area students who showcased their talents at the Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston. Artists ages ranged from pre-teen through college, but all the performances were professionally and enthusiastically delivered to the delight of the audience. Some of the bands that participated were the Charleston Jazz Academy combo, Wando High School Jazz Band, Charleston County School of the Arts Jazz Band, College of Charleston combo, Berkeley All-County Jazz Band, the Charleston Southern University combo, and others.

Charleston from the Sky

So I can’t stay on the ground for long before the sky draws me like a magnet again. Yesterday morning we took off in the little R22 for a short flight to photograph a few targeted buildings, one of which is the new MUSC Childrens Hospital. Unfortunately the sun hid behind the clouds for a lot of the time, but that’s just the way it goes. Not every flight gives you perfect light, but sometimes it comes as a gift when you least expect it. That’s half the fun; you just never know.
