BRAVO! Jazz Band at CCC Jazz Contest

Congratulations to the 23 members of the DCS Jazz Band.  We had 100% attendance and played our music the best we have played this year.  The audience, directors and judges had many positive remarks about the group.  This was a great beginning for Jazz program.  A special congratulations to the following soloists, Lydia M alto sax, Michelle H. flute, Jake S. flugal horn, Alyssa B. vocal, Stephan W. piano, Josh R. drums, Patrick W. drums, and Joey W. bass.

After the Jazz Band is through playing the students need to be picked up at 7 PM.  Students who have parents attending the dessert will be provided a movie to watch in the school building.  I may not have been clear in the previous posting.

I gave a hand out to the students 2 weeks ago but do not know how many students gave it to their parents so they would know what is going on.
