1. Thanks for a great year! Have a fantastic summer!

2. Keep playing your instruments over the summer. This is a great time to begin private lessons. Also, there are many enjoyable instrumental books on-line and at local music stores which have play-along CD’s of your favorite music.

3. Next year’s 8th Grade Jazz Band members - there are recordings of much of your summer folder on this website. Practice the music in this folder as best you can, so we can start the new school year off on a high note! Check this website regularly, as recordings might be updated.
