We are pleased to host Winnipeg's own Air Command Jazz Ensemble this Tuesday March 12th in our theatre.  This event is being used as a huge THANK YOU to all of our students for another successful year at the Optimist festival.  All band students will be joining us in the theatre at 1:00 tomorrow to watch this world famous jazz ensemble perform.  The concert will run about 1 hour and students will be returning to the end of their period 5 class.

Here is a bit of a hint of what you might see...

Another successful year at Optimist Jazz

Congratulations... go out to our Jazz Bands for their outstanding performances at this year's Optimist International Jazz Festival.  All 3 of our groups were recognized for their swingin' sound and high energy.  Special thanks go out to:  all of our soloists in all three bands who were recognized time and time again for their exemplary work.  As well, a special fist pump for the Jr. Jazz who received a perfect mark from the adjudicators.   Well done bands.
