LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR We have braved the polar vortex and Spring has sprung here at Mater Dei High School!

Our winter season was full of accolades for each and every program within the performing arts, confirming the great force of the arts on this campus and beyond. Spring is a time of love and rebirth, and what better way to express these than in song.

In the spirit of love, the performing arts programs have devoted their time and talents to serve those in our community near and far. Our Dance Program will travel to Mexico to serve underprivileged youth during Gala de Danza, teaching dance and extending the Mater Dei virtues of compassion and service; the Music Academy Program was recently awarded on a national scale for its contributions to music education; the Theatre program and its Chuckles 4 Charity events has raised hundreds of dollars to support theatre education programs for the underserved; the Song Program provided pajamas, gifts, and love to Orange County Youth battling homelessness, broken homes, and illness; and the Choir Program continuously provides their gift of song to those in assisted living and hospitals as well as supporting various organizations through its philanthropic event, Coffeehouse.

We are blessed indeed and so proud of the efforts our artists are making to create a kinder, more loving world each and every day.

And so, we welcome you to the transformed LeVecke Center this evening to share the great work of the Instrumental Music program. From our jazz players to our all stars, there is such immense talent and musicianship flowing from this campus. Special thanks to Mr. Fernando Martinez, director, and Mr. Taylor Smith, associate director, for their constant pursuit towards excellence - our students are blessed by your leadership and passion. And thank you all again for being with us today and throughout the entire year - you fuel our creativity and passion.

Mr. Scott Melvin, Executive Director, Performing Arts 2

DIRECTOR’S WELCOME Good evening and welcome to the 15th Annual “Red Hot Jazz” at Mater Dei High School.

Traditionally this concert has primarily featured our jazz band, but as our instrumental music program has continued to grow and evolve, we start off the night with special guest performances from our most advanced students in Percussion, Winds, String Orchestra, Guitar and a premier performance from our first middle school jazz band presented through our Music Academy and the Marian Alliance Schools.

Our Mater Dei Jazz Band will then take you through a musical journey of the multicultural genres and styles that intertwined into what became known as “Jazz,” America’s only true original art form.

From the swinging sounds of the 1930’s to today’s contemporary sounds, generations of people have come together and shared their experiences, lives and talents with each other. This in turn created many diverse styles within jazz and each style represents various times within our history, culture, diversity and society.

Our program’s mission statement reads, “The Mater Dei Instrumental Music Program believes that music study and performance instills spiritual, intellectual, creative and social growth.” Tonight is not only a concert, but more significantly, it is a night of coming together, sharing, and creating lifelong memories. It is the result of many hours of dedication and commitment from our families, parents, friends, students, teachers and administration. I am truly honored to be a part of this experience with all of you.

Please note that your support of our auction and donations will help support the ongoing development of our program to ensure we may continue creating opportunities for students’ growth and success. Your generosity and contributions are truly appreciated and will assist with the purchase of new equipment, instruments, event meals, additional staff, college scholarship awards and a number of other needs.

Once again, welcome to Red Hot Jazz and enjoy the concert!

With Gratitude, Mr Fernando Martinez, Director of Instrumental Music

Mangia Mangia Restaurant Reviews: Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind, authentic Italian restaurant, owned and operated by two brothers from Sicily. Giuseppe and Pietro Cefalu have been making waves in Huntington Beach for years now. While the setting and the site are casual, the food is classic Italian and the service warm and friendly.

The Cefalus proudly serve only the freshest seafood (selected daily), an array of pastas with mouthwatering sauces, as well as signature eggplant dishes and a famous calamari fritti. This bustling favorite with locals is sure to please. Reservations are recommended for parties of four or more.

After culinary school in Italy, the Cefalu brothers worked in the restaurant industry for years, Pietro as Head Chef of some of the finest restaurants in Italy. In the early 1980's the brothers brought their authentic Italian cuisine to America, Giuseppe working on the West Coast, until finally opening Mangia Mangia in 1987.

You could easily drown yourself in Marinara at Mangia Mangia, but keep an eye on the beloved restaurant's daily specials and you'll find all manner of Sicilian favorites. Look for the bucatini with roasted cauliflower, pine nuts and raisins that hews as closely to North Africa as it does to the Italian coast.

Or opt for the swordfish with grilled eggplant that's dressed with bright, acidic citrus.

When you walk in, the smell of garlic makes your mouth water. One of the two Sicilian brothers greets you at the door.

The place is a typical mom and pop restaurant, nothing too flashy other than the flat screen playing tour videos of Italy.

Mangia Mangia Italian Restaurant 16079 Goldenwest St Huntington Beach, CA 92647 714 841-8887 Open Monday-Sunday for Dinner Monday- Friday for Lunch We take reservations for parties of 4 or more
