The Pioneer Jazz Band will perform in the CMEA Jazz Festival on Friday, February 4 at Santa Teresa High School. We must be at Santa Teresa by 7:45am for our warm-up. Because this is a school field trip, students are NOT permitted to drive themselves for this event. As such, all students are required to be at Pioneer, dressed and in the band room by 7:15am. We will need parent drivers who can drive us to Santa Teresa at that time, and who will be able to return us to Pioneer at about 10:00. Students will miss periods 1-3, but since Jazz Band is 3rd, they are only out of 2 classes. If you are able to drive, please contact me ASAP. I realize that many students normally drive themselves to school in the morning, but because this is a school field trip, student drivers are not allowed. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. It may also be possible for you to drive your student directly to STHS (arrive at 7:30) if I have a note stating that by Tuesday, February 1. They will ride back with us after the festival.
The CMEA Jazz festival is free and open to the public. There are many good bands performing Friday and Saturday, and I encourage students to take advantage of the opportunity and see some live jazz! Plus, watching 2 groups would make a good live review. I know it's Big Band Dance weekend, though, so many of you will be covering shifts working for that.
Contact me if you have any questions about this schedule.
