	Tickets to major KRTU  concerts at Laurie Auditorium including: Branford Marsalis Quartet October 20, 2007 Dianne Reeves March 28, 2008
	After-school workshop with 3 professional jazz musicians to work with individual sections and help students prepare for Spring performances, especially UIL and the St. Mary's Fiesta Jazz Festival
