Jazz band students from around the Roanoke Valley will participate April 5 in the inaugural CCAP Jazz Honor Band Concert presented by Trane. All proceeds will go to the Community College Access Program, which makes it possible for local high school graduates to attend Virginia Western Community College. Guest conductor will be Brandon Lee, a jazz trumpeter, Julliard School graduate and an assistant professor at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Trane and parent company Ingersoll Rand are long-time supporters of CCAP for Roanoke City, which began with a pilot program in 2009. CCAP is available in Virginia Western’s entire service region, which is comprised of the cities of Roanoke and Salem, and Botetourt, Craig, Franklin and Roanoke counties. The program gives local high school graduates who meet program guidelines the opportunity to attend college tuition-free for two years.
