Hello All Stars!

Hello All Stars,

Congratulation's to those of you who have been selected for the 2016 - 2017 Jazz All Stars.  Please see the dates below and be sure to note them in your calendar. I am going ask ask that everyone do everything they can to be sure they attend all reherasals and performances so that we can be prepared for our concerts and competitions.  I am very excited to be conducting the ensemble again this year and have some incredible songs selected for our first show.

Our first rehearsal will be held on December 3rd at

Nativity of Our Lord School  
585 W. Street Rd
Warminster, PA 18974

This year we will be practicing in the MUSIC ROOM 118 not the gym due to some volleyball conflicts.  When you arrive please park in the back of school and use the "D" entrance located oppisite the playground (Nearest to the courtyard).

Each student must also have their membership checks ($25 dollars) made out to OCE.  This is a seperate fee from Honor Band, so please be sure to send a check in with your students for me to collect.

I look forward to seeing you all on December 3rd!

-Mr. Myers
