Swing into Spring Big Band Dance

Join the Albany High School Jazzband, Jazzlab and the Albany Middle School Jazzband for our first annual Swing into Spring Big Band Dance. This exciting evening of classic swing tunes, professional dance instruction, tasty food, and wine will be Friday March 12, 2010 from 7 pm to 11pm at the Gaia Arts Center in Berkeley, CA.

Albany Music fund has the single purpose of supporting music education in the Albany public schools. This school year, in the face of huge budget cuts, Albany Music Fund has pledged $65,000 to the school district, all of which goes directly to music education. This money supports both vocal and instrumental music, and student musicians in elementary, middle, and high school.

All of the proceeds from the dance will go directly to Albany Music Fund. With the success of this first annual Swing into Spring Big Band Dance we hope to continue our mission of creating excellence and equality in the music program in Albany schools.
