In retrospect, I wonder why the student talent committee didn't select the jazz trio splinter group from my high school jazz band to perform decades ago. I thought the three of us played a strong rendition of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five." My guess is that plenty of musical acts auditioned, and it was simply a matter of making sure as many genres as possible were represented.
Besides, if our group had made the cut and displaced another band, the audience might have been deprived of this humorous moment.
