After an incredibly successful season, the future Mozarts, band majors, and Frank Sinatras in the Jesuit Orchestra, Marching Band and Men’s Chorus shared their talent with the Jesuit community in finale concerts.

The booths at this year’s festivities included the Environmental Club, Medical Society, 24/7, the Pro-Life Club, the Social Justice Club, Irish Heritage, Interact, and Millions for One, with the...
