2008-2009 CHS Blue Tones Jazz Band
The CHS Blue Tones Jazz Band will begin another year of jazz music. Rehearsals will be 3 days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 6:45 am to 7:25 am.
New members, new music and new activities will be built into our expanding program. One of my goals this year is to create smaller ensembles within the Blue Tones. The smaller ensembles would be a rhythm section with 2-3 soloists. Our membership this year will provide multiple rhythm sections for various small groups. We will be invited to play more venues with our smaller groups.
Other changes:
• New ‘uniform’
• More festivals
• New music
• German Jazz Band visitation in the spring
• New Members
• Linus Pauling performance
The Blue Tones will be fee-based as in the past. Rehearsals will be September to June.
The fee schedule will be:
One annual payment: $260.00 = $260.00 Annual Cost
Semester payment: $135.00 = $270.00 Annual Cost
Monthly payment: $30.00 = $300.00 Annual Cost
(Checks are Payable to Marshall Price)
I am looking to a great year of creative jazz music and lots of fun with each of you,
Marshall Price

Summer Camp Update
The Second Annual 2008 Summer Youth Band Camp was held at CHS this summer July 21 – July 30, 2008. Twenty-five students, 6th-11th grades participated from Linus Pauling Middle School, Cheldelin Middle School and North Albany Middle School.
The members rehearsed four days and then presented 3 concerts at the Riverfront Park, the Saturday Market and at Corvallis High School. The camp concluded with an evening of miniature golf. The music was well-received and band performed three excellent concerts.
A big THANK YOU to the Friends of CHS Band for sponsoring the band camp! A special thank you to Yuki Tanaka for designing this year’s colorful t-shirt. Next year the camp will be held July 20-July 29, 2009. The camp plans to attend and perform at the Benton County Fair next summer.
