Alas...

Well, we didn't make it to the finals of the 87.7 Smooth Jazz Battle of the High School Jazz Bands. Considering ours was a very last minute decision and entry, I'm not surprised, but congratulations to the four fine bands who will get to battle it out for the championship on November 17: the Wheeling High School Jazz Band 1, the Oak Park and River Forest High School Jazz Ensemble, the Chicago Academy for the Arts Jazz Combo and the Warren Township High School Jazz Ensemble. Best of luck to them all!

In any event, we will be performing our entry, "Contemplation," at the fall band concert this coming Monday night at 7:00PM. Come out and hear it in its final form!
