Hey music fans!  The Campana Jazz Festival is just around the corner!

Mark your calendars now for Saturday, February 11.  This is the 37th year of one of the best educational jazz festivals in all of Northern California, and it's right at Amador Valley High School!  All of the PUSD jazz bands will be performing - with a total of 46 big bands and combos from 24 schools!  You won't want to miss it!  

AVHS and the Amador Friends of Music are the hosts, and we need you to help continue the success of Campana.  And you'll want to help - we have a terrific time, and give all of our volunteers FREE admission to the festival.  So don't delay - get your favorite job back - or sign up for a new one  - by emailing Chairperson Marilyn Palowitch NOW! Just write "I want to help!" and we'll get started.

 

Stay cool and stay tuned!  More details about the festival itself, volunteering, and student volunteers will arrive in your inbox soon.
