Jazz Band Meeting
A jazz band meeting for both UMS and UHS Jazz Students will take place on Friday, January 11th at 5:30 pm in the UMS Band Room. Please make every effort for students and at least one of their parents/guardians to be there. The meeting will be brief, but is important for everyone to get the information.
Important - Schedule Change
An email was sent at the start of break about a change in our performance schedule. We will no longer be attending Illinois Wesleyan University's jazz festival on Saturday, February 2nd. They didn't have any spots left in their festival. We will now be attending the Eastern Illinois University Jazz Festival on Saturday, February 9th, 2019. Mark your calendars!
