Jagged Row Performs for Kujawa Elementary Students

Disponible en: Español

Kujawa Elementary School students enjoyed a concert performed by the rock band Jagged Row on May 9. The campus’ cafeteria was transformed into a concert venue for the event. According to Kim Corrick, International Baccalaureate (IB) coordinator, the band was brought in as a way to motivate second, third and fourth grade students and to remind them that the secret of success is to believe in themselves.

The Dallas band is led by Jaci Butler on lead vocals, guitarist Chris Lee, Matt Venhaus on lead guitar and Jason Landrum on drums. Sam Tate, choir director at Kujawa Elementary, coordinated the concert for the students and happens to be cousins with Butler. Jagged Row has won countless battle of the band awards including a scholarship to attend a five-week program at Berklee College of Music. The band has played across Texas and has toured throughout the United States.

Students and staff members alike enjoyed the band’s positive, high-energy performance.

“The Jagged Row concert for our students was magnificent,” expressed Principal Debera Thomas. “Students and staff members had a fantastic time. We really appreciate Ms. Tate for giving students this awesome concert experience.”
