Steel Band

Through the Hatch After Hours program, 4th/5th grade students can sign up to be involved in the Hatch Steel Band.  4th graders are directed by Scott McConnell and 5th graders are directed by Mr. Jacobson and his father, Paul "Jacob-dad" Jacobson.

Each group rehearses once a week after school.  The Hatch Steel Band plays everything from Calypso to Pop to Classical, and performs frequently throughout the year.  Past performances include a Chicago Bulls game, a Chicago Wolves hockey game, local music venues, and downtown Oak Park for the Thursday Night Out music series.  The Hatch Steel Band (HSB) has been featured on local news programs, and has performed live for the WGN and WCIU.  HSB has recorded three albums, and you can find several videos on youtube as well.
