Peoria Trip

Tomorrow, I'm goin to Peoria with a small portion of the jazz band to play a composition by Aaron Zemach, "Cholic Clown," at the IMEA State Festival. Zemach wrote this piece as an assignment for jazz band last year, and sent it to IMEA as part of their jazz songwriting competition. It's a great piece, and clearly IMEA agreed, as it won first place in the state of Illinois. Bonus: I get to miss school.

In our next concert with the ful band we'll be playing a cool cover of a Beatles song, "She's Leaving Home," which Mr. Brame has a link to on his blog: http://deerfieldband.blogspot.com/.
That's it.
