On Sept. 22, the Garden City High School Vocal Jazz Ensemble brought their exceptional talent to Citi Field, performing the National Anthem before the New York Mets faced off against the Philadelphia Phillies. Under the musical direction of Allie Frazzetto, the ensemble showcased their remarkable vocal skills in front of thousands of enthusiastic fans.
Vocal Jazz Ensemble is an auditioned group, comprised of select students from grades 9-12. As the ensemble prepared to perform on the field, the excitement was palpable.
“This was an unforgettable experience for our students,” said Mrs. Frazzetto. “Performing in front of a sell-out crowd of 40,000 fans at a Major League Baseball game was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our group. The Garden City musicians rose to the occasion and handled it like true professionals, putting their exceptional talent and hard work on display. I couldn’t be prouder of them.”
