## Caption

Senior Ruby Wagner sat behind her shiny silver drum set, peeking her head around the cymbals to see the crowd of around 100 people at the 2023 annual Prairie Village Jazz Festival on Sept. 9. Wagner’s role in the band was heard through each rhythmic thump and crash of her flying sticks to the beat of “Mamacita” by Joe Henderson. It was impossible for the audience not to notice her.

Preparing for her third year of performing in this event with East’s top jazz band — The Blue Knights — Wagner spent three weeks of each sixth-hour block period practicing with the group, led by band director Alex Toepfer.

“When Ruby’s behind the drum set, I don’t have to worry about anything,” Toepfer said. “I just know that she’s always going to do the right thing. She’s in the top 1% of students I’ve had in my career.”
