Lastly, I would like to thank Santa Monica College for their ongoing partnership and commitment to excellence in education. Without their support, the jazz band program at Samohi would not be possible. The Samohi Jazz Program would like to thank the following organizations for their generous support of our students: The Flourish Foundation The Ella Fitzgerald Foundation Our outstanding jazz program could not survive, much less thrive, without the dedication, generosity and hard work of the parents, families and community members who support our talented students in so many ways. All of the extras that make the difference between an adequate music education and an extraordinary one must be funded with private donations. We extend our sincerest thanks to those who generously support the Samohi Jazz program.
