November MVJBS Gathering/Concert

3:00 Dessert Social* (NOTE TIME CHANGE)

3:30 Board Update and Concert

*Members are asked to bring a treat to feed 6-8 guests.

November's monthly Mesilla Valley Jazz and Blues meeting will be our annual Membership Jam at Alma D’Arte Charter High School, featuring (you) members of MVJBS and the Miguel Torres Quartet.

Miguel and his group will have a short presentation and then he will open it up to the membership and guests. Those interested in performing can contact Miguel at MVJBSjazzjam@gmail.com and he will try to work you into the program!

Standard tunes only, please. If you sing in a key other than the original you must provide chord changes for 4. We will try to accommodate everyone with at least one tune.

This will also be the month we start our meetings earlier in the day to accommodate the end of daylight saving time. The dessert social will begin at 3 p.m. and the meeting/concert will start at 3:30 p.m. This will continue until daylight saving time starts again in April.

Join MVJBS and share in a night of unique jazz and blues performances and an update on how our Jazz and Blues Festival went in October by MVJBS President Carol Mertensmeyer and Music Director, Pancho Romero.

Meetings are open to the public and all are welcome. Attendance is $5 for members, $10 for non-members and $2 for students at the door.
