Springtime

Back from Isla for two weeks now, and I'm still on the island.
Really looking forward to a return trip. Downloading Caribbean sea sounds from itunes.
30 instructional days left of the school year. This one has gone by faster than any I can remember.
Still lots to do.
Next weekend taking the high school kids that work with Tim Fox down to Greeley (UNC) for the jazz fest. We'll get to see the Mingus tribute big band on Friday night, perform Saturday morning for the judges, hang for awhile and return Saturday night. A very busy time that is truly a wonderful experience for the kids. Myself, I can't wait to hear the Mingus band.
May 1st we are performing in downtown Carbondale, Colorado. The 7th and 8th grade CMS bands, the Roaring Fork H.S. Jazz band, as well as several RFHS groups that will be performing....
on May 2nd at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Battle of the Bands. 20 bands in 5 hours. Big FUN!
May 7th and 9th will be the spring Symphony in the Valley concerts.
Other than that, it's pretty slow around here. teehee.
