GARCES JAZZ CONCERT
The Garces Band put on a fabulous Jazz Concert Thursday night, March 2nd.  They held an informal concert in the Art of Music building on campus and the room was packed. The program included 14 jazz numbers with four soloists performing; Joseph Berchtold on saxophone, Alexandra Moreno on clarinet, Evan Smith on baritone, and Kim Briggs on flute. It was a really special night on our campus.  It was wonderful to see all the long hours of practice, dedication and commitment by the students,

Andrew Orozco shares why he does theater - 
"Theater is amazing! The art of feeling stories has been with us since ancient times and in theater we can become someone else and be free to be ourselves. We act one on one with the audience and each other. It is something unexplainable and whimsical. �� ��   And what better whimsy than a deadly comedy based in the game CLUE-come find out who did it, with what, and why!  Can you guess the ending?"
