WE ARE GOING TO GERMANY

Shortly after our Taiwan adventure in 2019, the Rockville Sister City Corporation (RSCC) came to me about the opportunity to perform at our first sister city, Pinneberg, Germany. Unfortunately, a worldwide pandemic disrupted these plans. Once we came back, it took several years for all the pieces to fall into place. In the summer of 2023, we committed to this trip, and I worked closely with both the RSCC and their sister organization, the Deutsch-Amerikanische-Gesellschaft Rockville Pinneberg  (DAGRP) to plan a performance for Pinneberg’s Annual Jazz Festival. Now, after a year’s worth of preparation, we are taking fifteen Richard Montgomery students, our Principal, Ms. Deeney, her family, and my family across the world to share our unique American art form, jazz.
