JP Taravella Jazz Band Quest to NYC

We are JP Taravella Jazz Band and we are raising money so we can get to NYC for the Essentially Ellington Compettition & Festival on May 5, 6 and 7, 2016.  This money will be used for flights and hotels for these young musicians to get to NYC.  This is a once in a lifetime experience that these students have been working towards for 2-4 years depending on their grade level.  They have been performing and trying to save money for over a year and we are in the final months.  We have raised money for this phenomenal experience, and are holding more concerts and events to try and pay for this trip, but any help you can give us will be most appreciated!  These kids are so devoted, they spend days off from school to rehearse (sometimes up to 12 hours), they spend hours after school and even on Weekends to hone their skills, and boy can these kids play!!  They are so focused on this competition, that the seniors in this band are giving up their prom in order to perform.  Please help them make it to NYC!!
