Recent Music Society Events

Jam Session
The Alumni Association’s Music Society hosted a Jam Session is mid-September at the Memphis Drum Shop. The event, which was open to all recent Music graduates and Alumni Association members, was an evening full of enjoying live jazz music from some of the mid-south's outstanding musicians.
