Jazz Dress - Formal / dress attire is recommended for all Jazz competitions, and performances. If you don't have a suit or dress clothes see the list on the Freshman Info/Tips page for local stores that have suits at resonable prices. Also, check out the PARENT TO PARENT WANT ADS for gently used dress clothes.
Other special notices, gigs or unique announcements will be posted here as they come up.
Needs
We have a great time at the jazz festivals! But, we can always use volunteers and chaperones to make things easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved. I always say, many hands make light work and as long as you are willing to help, we'd love to have you join us! Sometimes seating on the bus is limited so in some cases we do a first come-first served thing, but if you are driving to a competition and want to help once you're there - please let us know.
