The time is fast approaching for the annual Swing Night at Blake High School featuring our very own “Eubie Blake” Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Brian Damron. On Friday, March 19, 2010, at 7:00PM: the Blake HS cafeteria will be transformed into a Jazz Club and all are invited to attend this great event. The night will be filled with music, dancing, food and fun. This year’s selections will include the music of Dizzy Gillespie, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, and so much more. A wonderful italian dinner and beverages is included in the price of admission. Dancing is always welcome so bring all of your friends. Tickets are now on sale for $25 per person. This event does sell out, so order your tickets early. Tickets can be purchased before or after school in the music office or by contacting any member of the Jazz Ensemble or the director. Checks should be made out to Blake Music Boosters. All proceeds for this benefit event will go to help purchase new costumes, music, supplies and equipment for the Instrumental Music Department. See Mr. Damron if you have any questions: 301-879-1339 (or) damron@blakemusic.org.
