Jazz in the Morning

It sounds like morning radio show but it will be what is happening in the band room this morning. I wanted to get a Jazz band started at DF and many of the students expressed interest in it but they have so much to do after school that many said they couldn't do it. So a few of them came up with a solution. Let's have Jazz band on Wednesday morning. We have late arrival on most Wednesdays. It is for department meetings but as I am my own department, I usually meet with myself. I got special permission to do Jazz band during this time. I sincerely hope that they all show up and we can do it. Once upon a time Jazz band was a class at DF. For some reason it is not now so this is an attempt to bring it back. I am not a Jazz purist by any means. I play tuba. You figure it out but I do like it. If there is one group that will get you counting and playing it is Jazz band. The goals for this year in Jazz band:

1. Have fun.

2. Build up some interest.

3. Do a few public performances.

4. Have fun. (It's worth putting down twice.

I will give you a report of how things go. I haven't had one in about 4 years so I am hopeful.
