Carol Tony sings with the Virginia Union University Jazz Band last Saturday at the annual springtime VUU Jazz on the Lawn event. It was the first time since the pandemic that the jazz band has been able to perform in public. The band was led by Drew Miles, a VUU adjunct professor who also is the band director at Huguenot High School. The university’s Ambassadors of Sound Marching Band held a benefit fish fry during the event.
