News Story: Syracuse Jazz Fest

I have to do an 150 word story about the Syracuse jazz fest as if this just happened. Attached are the instructions, recordings, and rough draft:

Jazz Fest usually attracts about 40,000 people to the annual event. It’s a free concert on the community college’s campus. It’s a family event: people are allowed to bring in food and picnic. Food and drinks are also available for sale. Parking costs $5. The lineup tonight was: Samantha Fish, Lake Street Dive, and the Avett Brothers.
