The Cayo Welcome Center came alive Friday night, when a jazz orchestra from Devon, Canada filled the stage, and played some classics for a few hours. The orchestra was great, everyone had a fun time, and there was even some dancing going on. The group has been in Corozal setting up a jazz program. After the music, a couple of fire spinners from Portugal wowed the crowd by playing with fire. Thanks, Rotary, for making this happen.

This has meaning to me because my jazz band did this during the summer. It is a lot of fun, and I can relate very well!
It is great to know about people that have done activities like this one for the sake of helping others who don't have the same opportunities as them. The fact that they thought of all the process, organized fundraising events, and got the community involved is something to give acknowledgment for. They were spreading Jazz through performances and education. They were spreading music. They were giving happiness.
