While others are snoozing or hitting the malls tomorrow — or hurrying to vote before heading off to work — area jazz teachers will be doing what they know and love best.
They'll be gathering at New Rochelle High School from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for a workshop titled "Rehearsing and Conducting the High School Jazz Band," presented by the 16-piece Westchester Jazz Orchestra.
"The class will be enjoyable, interactive and practical, and the information and techniques explored will apply to ensembles of varying levels and instrumentation," says WJO artistic director Mike Holober (pictured here).
A pianist and composer, Holober will lead the workshop, which is the orchestra's first seminar for music teachers.
The fee is $75. For more information, call WJO at 914-861-9100 or log on to www.westjazzorch.org.
The public can enjoy the orchestra Dec. 5 as it continues its season at Irvington Theater with "Sax Masters: The Music of Coltrane, Cannonball, Bird and More." (The snow date is Dec. 6.)
The remaining concerts are "From Bossa to Tango: Sounds of South America" (Jan. 30) and "Americana" (April 10). Log on to the Web site or call the theater box office at 914-591-6602 for details.
