What a talented child :] Grats.

Hmmmmmmm *rolleyes* Are you the special guest pianist ? Just wondering :]

Again, grats! Hope to hear more from you.

[mikaylasax]

Thanks!

Actually, I'm Mikayla's grandfather. I WISH I could play the piano like that!

The guest pianist is a member of the music faculty at Arizona State University. He graciously agreed to play with the DVHS Performance Jazz Ensemble for this performance.

Mike

Better and better the sound of the Band

Bravo to the band

Thanks Oliviero! Good to hear from you again!

[UniquelyUninspired]

You/your granddaughter are very lucky. Since Oscar Peterson's (RIP) death, Canadian exposure to Jazz music has hit an all time low. Keep on...Jazzing.

[mikaylasax]

Yes, we are very lucky. With so many cuts being made to public education budgets, we are very fortunate that Mikayla is able to participate in a great high school jazz program, with so many talented musicians and an excellent director.

Thanks for your comment.

[Broaart]

Mikayla, My Dear thank you so much for coming back and making a nice comment on my page. As young and talented as you are. You are so great of a saxophonist to be as young as you are. Bless you My sweet Mikayla. Keep up the good work.

[Tsutsomu]

the big bands sounds really good. I think Mikayla is in the right place with so many good musicians to learn a lot about jazz and to start a brillant musician carreer.

I wish you all the best.

Your friend :

Steph.
