Hello parents, sr. jazz members and fans of sr. jazz.

We are pleased o announce that the Sr. Jazz had been invited for the third year in a row (natural hat-trick) to "open" for the season finalĂ© of the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra (WJO).  They will be performing on the 11th of May( Mother's Day) at 2:00 at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG).

Each time we have done this, the WJO has offered us some significant deals on tickets, but due to the fantastic nature of this performance, it has always sold out.  Parents wishing to get tickets can follow the procedures as outlined below.  Members of Sr. Jazz receive a free ticket.
