MADISON — The Edgewood High School Band recently got to perform a piece of music very personal to them.
At the school’s band concert on May 4, one of the performed selections was called “Snapshots” — which was a commissioned work composed by Dr. Jack Stamp, with a large amount of input from the Edgewood band members.
Stamp is currently adjunct professor of music at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where he teaches conducting.
