Lewis Kleman and Emily Kelly are seniors at Cedar Rapids Washington and three-year members of the top jazz band, the Revolutionists. They got their start in jazz at KCCK’s Jazz Band Camp in middle school. Dave Sharp of Indian Hills Community College was their combo director, and they still remember things he told them all those years ago.
Emily and Lewis credit the tight-knit community within the Revs for making their high school experience fun and memorable.
Their music selections range from big band to modern funk and mainstream tunes.
