Congratulations to the Oak Prairie Jazz Band 1 on being selected to perform for the Illinois Music Educators Association’s All State Conference.  The OP Jazz Band is one of two junior high/middle school jazz groups from across the state that has been selected for this high honor!  The Jazz Band will perform for hundreds of music educators from across the state at the Peoria Civic Center in January 2011.

Thank you to all members of the 2009-2010 Jazz Band 1 who worked so hard on the recording that was submitted to IMEA for consideration!  You are the reason that we have this honor!

Jazz Band 1 will begin the year with a Jazz Camp on Monday August 16th through Wednesday August 18th from 1:00 to 3:00pm.  We will also have a number of performances and clinics leading up to our All-State Performance, including performances at “This Must Be The Place...” in Lemont and “Hackney’s in Palos Park”.
