Benefit for the Band

Having been an artsy-bandy-drama-y kid myself, I always like to see the high school artists get some attention. The Beloit Memorial High School Jazz Band has been invited to NYC to compete in the Essentially Ellington HS Jazz Band Competition. The winners get to play at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis, after a week of competition and workshops. BMHS is one of 15 bands that have been invited. How very cool is that?!?

It's not cheap, tho. So, to help raise money for the trip, Bushel&Peck's is sponsoring a Jazz Brunch on Sunday, March 29 from 11-2pm. The kids will play, you will eat and a portion of the proceeds will pay off tickets, housing, etc (bring a coupon from the Stateline News or the Janesville Gazette). Here's a preview of the musical offerings...they're so good!
