The Chesterton High
School Music Department will once again present an evening of music and
dancing that showcases the students of the Chesterton High School Jazz
Ensemble.
The “Big Band Bash”
offers the public a nostalgic dance, reminiscent of those held during the
1930's and 40's. The music selections will include melodies from the
“American Song Book” arranged in the style of the dance tunes from the Big
Band era.
In addition to the
well-known melodies from the Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton, Louis Prima, Count
Basie, Duke Ellington and Woody Herman bands, the CHS Jazz Ensemble will
fill out the evening’s dance book with some familiar offerings from the
50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
The Big Band Bash
is a two-night event that is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, February 9
and 10, in the Chesterton High School Commons. Music and dancing will begin
at 7:00 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres are available as part of the ticket price, with
coffee and soft drinks available for a nominal cost. Patrons may use
Entrance 31 located on the northeast side of the building. All seats are
reserved. No tickets will be sold at the door.
