Congratulations Jazz Dectet!!!!!!!!

I am very proud of the impression you made at the WS Commerdinger Jr. Park Fundraiser!  Your performance, etiquette on stage, and high musicianship all around pleased everyone attending and involved including Legislator John M. Kennedy Jr..  I was approached by many people who had nothing but praise and compliments to share.  You should be proud, you stepped up, accepted the challenge and carried yourselves like mature musicians and representatives of the band, school and district.

Bravo!!!!!!
