Jazz This Year!
This year's jazz concerts are December 3rd, February 26, and May 18. All concerts start at 7:30PM.
The jazz ensembles will also participate in the Northshore Jazz Festival at Glenbrook South on January 24th and the Rolling Meadows Jazz Festival on February 28. The Rolling Meadows Jazz fest will feature the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band and all parents and even non-jazz students are encouraged to attend!
In addition, from March 21-27, the jazz ensembles will be traveling to New Orleans to do some performing and community work, building homes and working on home improvement projects for local residents. This effort is made possible to HisHands2Go, a New Orleans Charity. If you would like to help out in some way, please contact Mr. Thompson.

Crazy start to the year!!!
The fall has flown by due to the wonderful home football schedule we had this year. Thanks to all the hard work and dedication of the students, our shows have still be effective and hopefully enjoyable. We finish our Marching season a week from tomorrow with a final tribute to the movies and the 15th annual version of the "Band dance." Can't wait!
Today also marked the start of the Poinsettia and Turkey fundraisers. Who doesn't need both!
Next up is the always popular Band-O-Rama Concert on October 9th. This is a great concert to bring friends and family to. It's your chance to hear the marching band up close and personal, plus see the guard in action.
With the end of marching season comes auditions for chair placement in concert bands. Everyone should be practicing and getting ready to show their best!
What a great privilege it is to be your band director and share great music with you!
