The Old Ignatians Jazz Band brought a lively mix of jazz, swing and contemporary favourites to this year's Jesuit Mission Bazaar, entertaining the crowd with a spirited half-hour performance. 

Featuring saxophones, trumpets, trombones, drums, guitar and bass, the band brings together approximately 15 to 20 musicians from across the Old Ignatian community. 

Its repertoire ranges from enduring classics such as Moondance and Sway to energetic arrangements of more contemporary favourites, including Gonna Fly Now from Rocky, Whisper Your Name and Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love.  

Performing at the Bazaar were Justin Hiew-Choy (OR24), Arhan Grimes (OR25), Josh Marzullo (OR25), Lachlan Mauleon (OR24), Spencer Solomons (OR24), Sidney Au-Yeung (OR24), Jack Caine (OR24) and Mark Lewis (OR98). They were joined by Year 12 students Pat and Cleydon, who generously stepped in to complete the line-up. 

By bringing together Old Ignatians from across the generations, the band provides another way for alumni to engage, connect and contribute to the life of Riverview. Its Bazaar performance showcased the talent, enthusiasm and community spirit that continue well beyond the College gates. 

The full Old Ignatians Jazz Band includes Jack Caine (OR24), Cian McAweeney (OR24), Spencer Solomons (OR24), Julian Sammour (OR23), Lachlan Easdown (OR22), Hamish Grover (OR23), Sidney Au-Yeung (OR24), Lachlan Mauleon (OR24), Justin Hiew-Choy (OR24), Mark Lewis (OR98), Thomas De Angelis (OR09), Max Ghiazza (OR22), Charlie Perrignon (OR83), Bruce Hume (OR96), Archie Delany (OR25), Josh Marzullo (OR25) and Arhan Grimes (OR25). 

The Old Ignatians Jazz Band frequently meets on Monday evenings at the Woods at Riverview.
