request causes a class to fall below the minimum number required, and the vacancy cannot be filled, no refund will be given.

Everyone LOVES the StingRays Rock & Roll, from Rockabilly – tons of
Sixties – to the 70’s. Their music, great rapport with audiences and

passionate about Rock & Roll and play it authentically. Excellent

the greatest names in Rock & Roll.
THE STING
RAYS
Concert #2
Sun. July 26 • 6-7:30pm
Swingin’to the sounds of Count Basie, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich
and Woody Herman lit a flame that has burned for years. As
these former music students grew into music teachers, engineers,
accountants, and business people, the desire to keep the Big
Band Jazz music alive led to the formation of the Switch Time Jazz
Ensemble, a 17-piece group Big Band!
SWITCH
TIME JAZZ
Concert #3
Sun. August 23 • 6-7:30pm
Do you love The Beatles AND the 60’s? Then you don’t want to
