Good Morning, Tiger Jazz!

In my experience, if you treat others the right way, the universe (God, Buddha, Karma, whatever you believe in) attracts positive results to your life.  

Sooooooo......

Good Morning, Tiger Jazz.
Because we no longer MIRP on Thursdays, and we have a little extra time on Wednesday's, we will do a shortened MIRP time on Wednesdays.

Good Morning, Tiger Jazz,
Door decorating will occur throughout jazz rehearsal today.  (JUDGING IS THIS THURSDAY.)
We need:
"team snowman":
"team snowflakes":
"team glitter and other stuff":
Aliya is our creative director.  She will choose the teams, as she sees fit.  When "team cover-the-door" is finished, she will grab who she needs.

Good morning, Tiger Jazz.

We have discussed if you diligently study your instrument, you could be eligible to audition for a music scholarship for COLLEGE.  Depending on how skillful you are, you could get a alot of money, or even just a little bit of money. (Every bit helps!! College is expensive.)

Somebody wrote to me "I hope you arent lying. I'm really interested in that."

LYING?!  I'm not here to blow sunshine and rainbows up your bottoms, young people. I tell you the truth of the WORLD.  However, different colleges have different policies. So lets look at a few...

Washburn University

Emporia State University

Kansas State University

University of Kansas
