<p>Garfield does have a hoppin jazz band- some of whom just recieved lessons from Wynton Marsalis last weekend-
DownBeat magazine also named the Garfield orchestra as the top ranking high school concert group earlier this year ( for non perfoming-arts schools)</p>

<p>My D did get to take an instument in 3& 4th gd- but we weren’t able to pay for private lessons till it picked up again in middle school like some of her friends who are in the high school programs did, but she did get to take steel drum for several years- which she had a lot of fun doing.So she doesn’t play an instrument at Garfield- but she gets to enjoy the rehersals.</p>

<p>D will be graduated- before its built- but we are looking forward to seeing the new theatre that they are building @ Garfield. I believe they plan to rededicate it to Quincy Jones- who was a couple years younger than my mothers Garfield class.( they have been planning on redoing the building for years- my mother said it was old when she went there- they finally started this fall)
Anyway
no emeraldkity was a play on emerald city- I wanted something that represented the area- and at the time we had two cats as well.</p>

<p>Seattle does seem like it is getting more contentious- we are definitely not as laid back as you would think with all the vineyards and microbrews
It must be all that coffee!</p>

<p>Oh, good. I’m not alone then. </p>

<p>Since EK did have two cats at the time, I’m sticking with my original illusion. :)</p>

<p>Hey, why not dedicate the new theater to Garfield’s other famous alum, Jimi Hendrix? Then again, allegedly Jimi burned a few bridges at Garfield during a return visit to address students. When Jimi stepped to the podium, a youngster asked him how long it had been since he left Garfield. Reputedly, the rock 'n roller, who some say was, um… dazed, replied… “it feels like a million years ago,” and abruptly walked out. Never to return.</p>

<p>“We got to find our way outta here…said the joker to da thief.”</p>
