Pep Band

The last pep band game of the regular season will be this Tuesday with call time at 6pm.  Green Band and anyone that needs to make up a missed game should attend.

More information regarding the playoffs will follow once the playoff brackets are decided.  There is a slight possibility that the girls will host their first round playoff game.

All that jazz…

What a week for Cleveland’s Jazz program!  Tuesday saw the Jazz Ensemble taking 1st Place at the PIL Jazz Festival with Cooper Headrick, Tai Friel and Tonantzin Ramirez each taking home Outstanding Soloist awards.

Saturday saw both the Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Lab traveling to the West Salem Jazz Festival.  Despite the long distance and even longer day, Jazz Lab tied for 1st Place in their division and Jazz Ensemble took 1st Place in the Advanced division.

Congratulations!  Your persistence and determination over the past few months have certainly paid dividends.

PIL Jazz Contest

The Cleveland Jazz Ensemble will be performing at the PIL League Jazz Band Contest at Roosevelt HS on Tuesday, February 6.  This event was postponed twice, so we are glad to finally get a chance to perform at this State Qualifying event.
