Dear Jazz Band Parents and Students, I hope everyone had an enjoyable break and great holiday season with your families! I wanted to keep you posted about our upcoming events this spring.
Jazz All State Students: You will receive a letter with details on the trip to Las Cruces and other details on that event.
Jazz Festivals
February 16: Albuquerque Jazz Festival at Eldorado High School Performing Arts Center. Jazz 2 will perform sometime mid to late morning. Jazz Band 1 will most likely perform around 2PM that day. We will meet around 1PM, warm up at 1:30PM, perform around 2PM and sightread at 2:30PM. (These are not exact times and may change slightly)
Students will be expected to stay for the remaining bands of the afternoon, the awards ceremony and return for the evening concert featuring AJO and this year's guest artist of the festival, Dick Oattes on alto saxophone. He is unbelievable. Students will need around $5 for this concert. It usually starts around 7PM. I will confirm performance time, price and start time of the evening concert and have that out soon.
March 2: UNM Jazz Festival at the African American Cultural Center on the State Fairgrounds. The performance time will be mid to late morning for Jazz 2 and afternoon for Jazz Band 1. Again, all students will be required to attend the evening concert at 6PM.
Both bands will of course play at the end of the year concert. Also, details will be out this semester about auditions for next years' groups.
I look forward to working with both groups this semester. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely, Mr. Dubbs

Parents,
Please be checking your childs' grades in their classes. I realize some teachers may not be connected to Basmati yet, but be proactive in finding out if they have assignments due in their classes. I encourage you to make contact with their teachers. If you need assistance with their phone numbers, let me know. Thanks so much.
Mr. Dubbs
