The 2007 Jazz Camp Concert was 

Friday, July 27th, 7:00 p.m. @ Andrew's Hall in the Sonoma Community Center. 

The concert was fabulous and the kids did a great job! After only 2 weeks they played 13 songs including such greats as "Watermelon Man".  The entire band did an excellent job and the teachers were amazing.

Thanks again to the instructors - Louis Christopolus and Jason Bodlovich and the Sonoma Community Center. 

The Sonoma Community Center offers a Jazz Camp this summer to students grades 8 - 12. The young musicians must have had a least 2 years with their instrument.
