- Our Honors Concert Band will hold its annual Chamber Music Concert next Tuesday, 3/11 at 7pm in the band room. Come on out to hear beautiful interpretations of classic repertoire spanning centuries.
- Our PM and FM Jazz Ensembles, as well as a combo will be participating in the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival on Saturday, 3/15. The festival will be held at Cabrillo College in Aptos. I’ve attached a full schedule, as well as a campus map. Here’s a link to their website- http://scjf.org/index.html. PM plays at 3pm, FM at 1pm, and the combo at 9:20am. PM and/or FM could be invited back to play at the showcase concert that night too. Transportation and supervision of students throughout the weekend is the responsibility of their parents. PM and FM can look for another email with further info next week.
Dinner Dance was a great success with an amazing turnout and tremendous music and fun. Special thanks to Theresa Furlong and her family, Michael Wang-Helmke, the Gough family, the Nixon Family, the Cyr Family, James Treadwell and the many parents and students who helped out. And thanks of course to the Band directors and the musicians for providing passione.
While we’re speaking of Leonard Bernstein…
