Tuscaloosa City Schools (TCS) said the show will also feature an opening performance by the UA Faculty Jazz Combo, in addition to Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame musician Mart Avant and UA saxophone professor Jon Noffsinger as guest artists.

TCS went on to say that the NHS Jazz Ensemble was originally scheduled to perform at the Alabama Music Educators' Conference in Huntsville last week, but the event was cancelled due to winter weather.

"I've never had a group work harder to prepare for a concert and I am very thankful that they will have the opportunity to perform their program for the Tuscaloosa community," NHS band director John Cain said.

The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at the Moody Music building, which is located at 810 Second Avenue in Tuscaloosa.
