By KC Website Staff Reporter - Jessica Chehak
     On March 11, 2008 Kimberly Center's gym was turned into a room full of wonderful jazz music. Kimberly Center welcomed jazz musician David Sanchez. Along with David came Henry, his drummer. Students and staff together had a wonderful time listening to David Sanchez play the Jazz saxophone. During the performance staff and students got the chance to ask any questions that they may have. Mr. Wessel the P.E. teacher asked “How much does a good saxophone cost?” David Sanchez’s response was "Between 3 and 5 thousand dollars."
     During the performance we learned that Mr. Sanchez was born in Guaynabo , Puerto Rico . Sanchez began playing percussion and drums at age 8. Four years later he began playing the saxophone. David Sanchez’s most recent recording earned him his fourth Grammy. He also won a Latino Grammy after winning “Best Instrumental Album” of 2005. Staff and students who had the chance to experience this performance will remember the it for many years to come.
