Jazz All Stars First rehearsal!

Hello Everyone!
The time is almost here for our first rehearsal which will be this Sunday DECEMBER 14th from 1:30-4:30 @ Archbishop Wood High School. Please have your student bring their instrument and music (of course!) and a snack, please keep them peanut free as we do have some students with allergies.

Please Please Please sign up for the JAZZ BAND alert system on the AEmusic.org website it is not the same as the concert band call list! With all the in-climate weather we had last year it is really important to be able to notify you of changes to the rehearsal schedule.

-Mr. Myers
