We’ll see you by 6:30pm for Bill Clark’s special Clinic/Rehearsal at Flesher-Hinton Music Store on Sunday, June 23rd (No Adam or Alec).

Bre, Please bring your drum set and put it next to Colton’s, so you can start learning all our tunes.

Tim’s private tuba/bass lesson will go from 5 until 5:45pm (Please bring a $40 check payable to Bill Clark).

Andrew’s private bass/tuba lesson will go from 5:45 until 6:30pm (Please bring a $40 check payable to Bill Clark).

The following selections are a concern right now: New Orleans Stomp, Five Foot Two, Marchand De Poissons (too fast), I’ve Found a New Baby, Indiana, Caravan, and After You’ve Gone (too fast). Overall, please check that our tempos are correct and don’t go too quick. We have got to do a much better job with dynamics, too! Everyone must step up their memorization work, especially the vets in preparation for our European tour.

 Vets – Please realize that all late trip payments must be turned in, at the very latest, by Sunday June 29th.

Vets – Please bring any past due trip payments, if you have not already done so.

It’s important that all families participate in our King Soopers fundraiser, if at all possible. This fundraiser greatly contributes to our financial aid, uniforms, supplies, and trip expenses. Dottie will have the gift cards available for purchase on Sunday at the Elks Club. Please bring $25 in cash, or a check made payable to the Denver Jazz Club, for each card you would like to purchase. Remember, you just use the card, same as cash, at King Soopers and Loaf & Jug (great for gas purchases!), each time you shop. Then we get 5% of the sales – you can’t beat it! You still earn your points and gas discounts as long as you use your King Soopers Rewards Card, along with the gift card. Thanks for all your support!!

All dates and driving directions can be found on the Event Calendar page.
