 Congratulations! And Thank You!

 

 

All of the parent and student volunteers who helped at the Campana Jazz Festival are to be commended for an exceptionally executed day!  This was one of the smoothest running Campana festivals, and all the credit goes to the more than 150 volunteers who took care of every detail. In doing so, the schedule ran on time, our visitors were happy, and the music was indeed the main event and ever so enjoyed by all! A special thank you to our own jazz students, and their directors - Mr. Aubel and Mr. Grantham - for your inspiration. More wrap-up appreciations and details will be found on the website over the coming week.

With gratitude,

 

Lori Ratto and  

Marilyn Palowitch, Campana Co-Chairs

Both combos and both big bands earned unanimous superior ratings at the Campana Jazz Festival held this past Saturday.  Congratulations to the students on a fine job!  A big thank you to the dozens and dozens of parents and students who gave up their time to
volunteer for the event.  And a special thank you to Lori Ratto and Marilyn Palowitch for their leadership in organizing another remarkable
event.  It was a great day to be a Don!
