The House Band, currently consisting of seven former and current staff members of JPS, has been prosperous over the years and has had many memorable performances of its own. The plans for creating a staff-run band as well as its actual creation occurred in the fall of 1999, just in time for the first Faculty Talent Show, to benefit the JPS Hall of Honor. “Colonel” Nick Romanetz, a former MONICA GHOSAL assistant principal at JP, began recruitment by issuing a memo to all teachers asking Senior Victoria Tan, winner of the competition, sings and plays the ukulele during her act at JPS Got Talent. if they played an instrument. With a very successful response, Mr. Romanetz held a few “get togethers” and created the original lineup: Mr. Romanetz on rhythm guitar, Mr. Keeping Up with the Talent Boufford on lead guitar, Mr. Kearney on and the Student Council committees. They has talent. Seniors Aryaa Sahasrabuddhe By KELLY CHEN, junior rhythm guitar, Mr. Donner on percussion, made all the decorations, picked the acts, and Cheikh Higgs impersonated Kim and Mr. Andreuzzi as lead singer and backup THE KIM AND KANYE themed talent show ran rehearsal, and organized the show.
