Reminder: Harlan Jazz Festival is coming up! This is Saturday, January 31. It will be an early morning event, so be prepared for that. As soon as the information from the festival becomes available, we will produce an itinerary for you, which will be presented in hardcopy as well as made available in PDF format to download here.
Regarding before and
after school
sectionals
and rehearsals
in the
case of inclement weather:
If school is on, and it is a regular day, the 7:00 a.m. jazz band sectionals will go on as scheduled. However, if there is a late start, there would not be jazz band sectionals. The same rule will apply to the after school jazz band rehearsals. Unless after school activities are called off, or school is dismissed early, those January/February practices will go on as scheduled.
8th Jazz Band: The hoodies will be passed out by Friday, Jan. 8. If you haven't made your payment, please bring your check, money order or cash payment of $30 to Lewis Central. We cannot distribute the goods until payment has been made.
