My gosh everyone is so good! I've been stalking the other bands; my student Liam was the drummer for Garfield High (Seattle) and they performed this year. Great job you guys and way to keep that Jazz torch burning!

There is no way Christian Miesgaes didn't get an outstanding soloist award... That solo was so clean
