IT'S JAZZ FESTIVAL WEEK!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone that has volunteered to help over the last couple of weeks, its very much appreciated!

We have some slots still to be filled in the evenings and especially on Saturday night. Saturday night clean up is where many hands will make the work go quickly. My goal all along is to not have the directors still at the school at 1am - as they have been in years past.

We'll see you there!

It’s now just ONE WEEK until the Highland/ASU Jazz Festival! I can not believe how fast we got to this point and I’m really looking forward to seeing all jazz band students from around the state come visit Highland and perform. It is truly one of my favorite events we host and participate in each year. This event is also a great fundraising opportunity for the ENTIRE band program – especially the concession stand we run for the event. As we get closer and closer to the festival, I would really appreciate your help to make it happen for all of those students and for our band program. The volunteer sign-up has a lot of openings to lend a hand and not require you to be at the school all-day. Please take a look and see where you can help us out with the festival. Also, we have a food donation sign up – the last one of the year – every dollar we save by having food and beverages donated is another dollar we can put right into the band’s general fund directly impacts each and every band student. Please take a moment and see what you can help us out with by donating and dropping it by the band room prior to the event. Thank you so much for all you do to help out and I very much hope to see you at the festival!
