HOLIDAY CONCERT


The JA Band program, with special musical guests, will present an Evening of Holiday Jazz on December 9, at the Capitol Grill.

A delicious dinner buffet is available at the event for $15 per person. The buffet will include:

Chicken Kabobs
Sausage Kabobs
Redfish
Grilled Asparagus
Mozzarella Skewers
Spring Rolls
Scalloped Potatoes

Dinner reservations must be made in advance by contacting event organizer Vicki Tirman (tirman4@bellsouth.net) by DECEMBER 5, so the restaurant knows how much food to prepare.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the JA Band program. Dinner purchase is NOT required to attend the performance.

In addition to the high school Jazz Band, featured performances will include the vocal stylings of JA receptionist Sheila Keyes, and pieces by two intermediate JA Band ensembles.
