Hello Jazz families,

First of all, we had a great trip to EWU with a few minor hiccups.  Both bands and all the soloists played well, and the jazz I trombones got recognized with a Best Section award (no outstanding soloist awards were given out)  The evening concert with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra was outstanding and inspiring. The snow (an snowball fight) when we returned to school was a great way to end the trip. 

With the late start tomorrow, and possible late start and closures the rest of the week, I wanted to let you know the plans for jazz bands.  This is what I told the kids on the bus yesterday.

Jazz II will be canceled if there is a late start on a M, W, or F.  Mr Carter can't make it because of his student teaching obligations if we have late starts.

If we have 1 or 2 hour late starts we will have Jazz I at either 7:30 or 8:30 respectively.  IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO GET HERE SAFELY, STAY HOME, OR COME TO SCHOOL WHEN YOU CAN.  The district has made tomorrow a 2 hour late start, so on Tuesday, 1/17 we'll have Jazz I at 8:30 (unless school is canceled between now and then)

I recommend taking your instrument home each school day this week, as we don't know if school might be canceled the next day, or the rest of the week!

Thanks,

Edd George
