Jazz Band Picture Day
The Jazz Band is scheduled for their annual Group Photo after school on Thursday, 2-9-12, from 3:30pm to 5:00pm. We ask that ALL Jazz Band Students make themselves available for this activity. The Jazz Band Group Photo is used to submit applications for performances at Disneyland, California Adventure, Knott’s Berry Farm & others.
The photographers will also take individual pictures of the students with their instrument during the same period of time, for those of you that are interested in purchasing them. The order forms will be distributed to the students in the coming days.
Please have your students bring their clean, freshly pressed, Jazz Band Attire to Zero Period on 2-9-12 and leave it on the racks in the music room during the day. I suggest that the students bring their Jazz Attire in a garment bag with their name clearly marked on it, so they can easily locate their own clothes and do not accidentally take the wrong bag home. Remember that everyone will be bringing in the exact same clothes! The students may also want to bring any personal toiletry items needed to get themselves “photo-ready” since it will be at the end of the school day. Make sure the toiletries are also in a marked bag.

Jazz Band Attire includes a black long-sleeved dress shirt, black dress pants, black dress shoes (marching band shoes are ok), black socks, royal blue zipper tie.

Once school is over at 3:30, they need to report immediately to the band room, check in and then change into their Jazz Band Attire for the photos.

Thanks for your help in making this a successful photo shoot.
