The Jazz Band has its first out-of-school gig of the year on Wednesday, December 16th.  They are performing at noon downtown at the Pioneer Courthouse Square for their "atmospheric" concerts.  The set will include some holiday tunes and some jazz standards.  We are hoping for dry weather! 

Both the Advanced and Jazz Bands will once again be recorded for this year's KBPS Holiday Greeting Card broadcast (December 24th).  The recording dates are December 1st and 2nd.  More info to come...
