Tuesday Combo - Ryan, Aaron, Forrest, Griffin, Ian, Ken, Adam, Connor?
Vincent is no longer playing piano in this group, and I believe Connor is going to join the group on piano.

Thursday Combo - Harrison, Vincent, Eric, Joe, Chris, Raven, Nat, Casey?
Thursday combo reminder: Each of you are to bring in 2 tunes for the group. One to feature yourself and one for the ensemble. You need to decide an arrangement for your feature piece. Later we will work on writing some ensemble soli stuff and backgrounds for the horns. Casey Riley expressed and interest in playing trumpet in the group and Nat had previously said he wanted to join on tenor sax. It would be great to have these guys join the group. This semester I want the group to work out origional arrangements on select tunes and we will continue to jam on additional tunes. Please bring your fake books and some blank manuscript paper.
