My Project

My scholars love jazz and so do I, which is why we take our jazz band performances very serious. I have the best scholars in the world, who continue to work hard to find individual and collective success. They are consistently performing for the school, community and its leaders, alumni, and special events. They volunteer their time freely and have a great deal of fun doing so. With these performances, they need to know how professionals dress, which lifts their self-esteem.

As the Jazz Band of Thunder makes great music, they should also hold their heads held high as they wear the proper bowties, neckties, and top hats as professionals.

Scholars need to understand that the real world has rules and regulations and with that, when you perform, one must dress up in the proper attire. They need to feel great about themselves with the professional attire, which is a concept that they will carry with them for the remainder of their lives.
