We love seeing the Louis Armstrong Center embraced by the community—not just as a place to remember a musical icon, but as a place where new memories, performances, and connections are made. This past spring, The Jazz Room was filled with the sound of music as young trumpeters gathered to prepare for the Trumpet Parade.

Seeing students fill the space with their energy and talent is a reminder of the importance of creating spaces that support the next generation of artists and celebrate the traditions that inspire them.
