Jazz Lab Band

MIKE IRISH, left, directs the 20-member Michigan Tech Jazz Lab Band Thursday evening at the Historic Ironwood Theatre. Irish noted the university at Houghton does not offer a major in music, adding, "This is what they do for fun." On a four-day tour, the band was scheduled to play in Ontonagon today, weather permitting. About 40 people braved Thursday's snow to attend the Ironwood performance.
