Holiday Jazz members were mall rats, at least for an hour this morning, as they entertained shoppers in Mankato’s River Hills Mall.
Directed by Erik Hermanson, the group set up in the food court.
In the fourth of five performances this season, Holiday Jazz will be back in action tomorrow as they entertain at the boys varsity games, starting at 6:30 pm. On Wednesday, they will wrap up their schedule when they play between acts at the elementary concert, which starts at 1:00 pm.

The saxophone section: Jacob Rohlfing, Sophie Shouler, Hailey Plonsky, Connor Urban, Katie Cink and Jack Voit.
Santa two-stepped to the music. Appearing out of nowhere, he was part of the Christmas magic, said director Erik Hermanson.
