Congratulations! What a wonderful effort on your part and all involved. It truly was a fabulous event. The audience was generous and certainly appreciated the performers who were spectacular. Keep me posted next spring as plans begin to unfold for the 2nd Annual, and we will consider how the Music Boosters can be a part of the Festival again.
Marti Supina - State College Area Music Boosters
I am using this newspaper to express my thanks to the many people who contributd to the very enjoyable and successful State College Area Jazz Festival at the South Hills School on July 23 [2005]. First, thanks to Catherine Dupuis and Joe Alessandro for conceiving the idea, planning the Festival and carrying it out so successfully. Thanks to the Mazza family for their support and contributions, not only for this event but also for the enjoyable summer Sunday evening concerts. Thanks to all the musicians who did such a great job, especially my favorite jazz band The Tarnished Six and also the great Russ Kassoff Trio. The music was all great, and it was for a good cause, the State College Area Extracurricular Endowment Fund. Great.
