This Jazz Panel SMORE will be the official site to see the names of all Panel Chairs, site addresses, judges, tabulators and contact information for each. I strongly suggest we have an alternate judge in case of emergency.

(Note: This is view only. You must contact Michael Cruz via email @ Michael.Cruz@pisd.edu for changes. Yes, you can call my cell at 469-585-5386 but our conversation must be followed by an email to document our decision so I can make the changes to this page.)
