Just a reminder that there is no rehearsal on December 29th. We’ll see you by 6:30pm on Sunday, 1/5 at Flesher-Hinton Music Store for our 6:30-9:00pm weekly rehearsal. 

Photo Session: Everyone, except Jake C, has now confirmed that they can make the photo session on Saturday, 1/4. Jake is trying to get a portion of his work shift covered so he can make it. We’ll plan on meeting at the new Sgt. Peppers Photography Studio location – 7345 S. Pierce St., Suite 202C, Littleton 80128. Please plan on wearing your maroon band shirt/slacks outfit. You will also need your instrument. We’ll be done by 10:30am, since we only need to take the group photo and individuals for Josh & Tom.

TRANSCRIPTION ASSIGNMENT: Everyone is required to transcribe a solo from our professional recordings. We should be able to listen to all transcriptions this Sunday. Adam is doing “The Mooche,” Jake C is transcribing “Saints,” Jake W is doing “Bourbon Street,” or something else,  Andrew is transcribing “Bill Bailey, and Trevor is transcribing “Washington and Lee Swing.” Copland has already completed and performed his transcription. Josh is working on his drum set technique.

Please be sure the dominant 7th plus nine & pg. 18 in Bill’s Improv Book are prepared. 
We will rehearse all 15 tunes that we’ll perform at the Broadmoor on January 23rd. The set list has now been uploaded. Please prepare and memorize all of these selections by our January 5th rehearsal.  
Thank you to all the parents and students who were in attendance at our December 15th trip meeting. Mr. Evans will be able to drive Tom, Josh and the drum kit to Colorado Springs, so we should be all set for drivers now. I’ll be contacting the 4 parents who were not able to attend the trip meeting, to make sure we’re a go for Sacramento and NYC. It’s very important that everyone checks that the travel dates of July 27th through August 1st will work for our New York trip.
