The recognition the .Jazz Band deserves is overlooked too often. This group of eighteen musicians practiced at seven o'clock prior to each school day. Their enthusiasm for education was revealed by their enrollment in the eighth period lvlusic Theory class. Their goodwill was ex- pressed by thier perforrnances for the elderly at the Casa De Nlodesto and their Christmas Concert. The band members also hosted Woody l-lerman and his Thundering l-lerd. lVlr. l-lerman conducted a .Jazz Technique Clinic, which gave the band members the experience to work with a professional. They also performed in the California Nlusic Educator Association in l-layvvardiif 1. Kurt Sterling, Tom Gentry, Flandy Williams, Tony Whitesel, Cathy Fontana, Mark Polack, and Gary Cox follow lvlr.
