This will be the night during Celebration III to have fun with your friends, meet fans from all over the world, and let loose playing games, trivia contests, and other amusements. You'll also enjoy live music from two great bands.

The Mt. San Jacinto College Menifee Jazz Ensemble of California will open the Celebration at Celebration III with hot and cool jazz music, including a few numbers straight from the galaxy far, far away. Formed just over two years ago, the Ensemble is made up of both traditional college students and community members.

"At the heart of this diverse group's success is the love of jazz, a willingness to learn, and a desire to be challenged," says director and arranger Steve Torok (front row second from right). The band has been featured at events including the Temecula International Jazz Festival, the Temecula Mayor's Ball for the Arts, and the International Red Cross Salute to Heroes. Torok has performed with Stevie Wonder, Barry Manilow, Temptations, and The Four Tops, and is currently the chair of music at Mt. San Jacinto College (Menifee) and an arranger for the hit TV show American Idol.

The rock trio Pallet, of Springfield, Massechusetts, is made up of brothers Mark and Jay Tarrant and their longtime friend Rob Allen. Joining the group for the Celebration at Celebration III is friend and guitarist Todd Alvarez. Pallet, in the midst of producing their second album, has been described as everything from punk to hard rock to heavy metal to pop.
