Mile High-Carson High Jazz Extravaganza
It's "big-band jazz times two" when the Mile High Jazz Band presents the ninth annual Mile High-Carson High Jazz Extravaganza, on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 7:30 p.m., in the Bob Boldrick Theater at the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William Street, Carson City. The event is sponsored by the Mile High Jazz Band Association and the Carson City Band Association to benefit for Carson High Jazz Band programs.
The Extravaganza features two big bands, combo performances, and a grand finale combining the forces of both big bands. Refreshments and raffle prizes will be on sale in the lobby. Tickets prices are $12 general admission, $10 students and seniors, and $5 for youth age 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased in advance directly from Carson High Band students, at Play Your Own Music in the Carson Mall, and online at MileHighJazz.com. For information, contact the Mile High Jazz Band at 775-883-4154.
"The Mile High Jazz Band is pleased to perform with and support the high school jazz band again," said David Bugli, Mile High Jazz Band leader and pianist. "The high school music ensembles are talented and goal-oriented, and they deserve the community's help and encouragement. I'm looking forward to another round of intergenerational jazz performance!"
Carson High Jazz Band attends and competes at jazz festivals each year. The band also has played for a Carson City Chamber of Commerce holiday party at the Railroad Museum, the late Governor Guinn's inauguration, the Greenhouse Garden Center music series, "Jazz! Carson City" music festival, and "Winter Wine and All That Jazz." Directed by Jarod Sorum, the band is a zero-hour class at Carson High School designed to teach students about jazz - the music that has affected America in so many ways.
Mile High Jazz Band, a professional big-band ensemble, plays regularly in northern Nevada, including monthly performances and quarterly Jazz and Poetry events at Comma Coffee. They sponsor an annual Jazz Festival in Carson City in August. Mile High Jazz Band appearances are funded, in part, by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
