The night will also feature a guest artist, Tina Raymond, a spectacular drummer, composer, and music educator. Tina is an internationally acclaimed performer, releases original music regularly, and is currently head of the Jazz Studies department at Cal State University Northridge.

The evening's main feature will be her performance with the Burbank High School Jazz Band as well as a full performance of Buddy Rich's famous "Channel One Suite," a monstrous suite of music as performed by Buddy's band in the late 70's and 80's.

This will be a special evening and we hope to see you see you there! Tix available at the door or online at https://events.s34t.com/burbank-high/10007/tickets/241/

Dear Students,

Burbank Council PTA and the District English Learner Advisory Council (DELAC) need your language expertise!

We are hosting a “Welcome to Burbank” Fair at JBHS’s Memorial Field on Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm. If you know two or more languages, we would like to have you serve as a student “ambassadors.” You would help families who request translation by taking them around to the different community booths and translating for them as they speak to different Burbank groups such as the Burbank Public Library, Parks and Recreation, and many more! Here is a little more information:

What: Burbank PTA Council is organizing a districtwide event called the “Burbank USD Welcome Fair.”

Who: All families of English learners, eligible immigrants, students in TK and students in Kindergarten are invited.

Why: Create a sense of community with the newcomers.

Support the integration of new families in the Burbank community.

Help families feel knowledgeable about schools and the city so they feel a part of the community as a whole.

How: At the Welcome Fair families will have access to the organizations that provide services and resources to our students and families.

When: Saturday, April 20, 2024 from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Where: JBHS’s Memorial Field
