Summer Showcase Band Concert featured Sunday at Carson City's BAC outdoor stage
The Capital City Community Band and the Mile High Jazz Band Association, in cooperation with Carson Middle School, will present a free Summer Showcase Band Concert on Sunday, June 23, 2019, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Brewery Arts Center’s outdoor stage at Minnesota and King streets in Carson City, the same stage used for the Levitt Amp concerts. Some seating is available, and the public is invited to bring chairs.
The admission-free Summer Showcase features four bands: the youth Pops Concert Band, the Capital City Community Band, the youth Jazz Ensemble Camp band, and the Mile High Jazz Band.
This concert follows eight-day Summer Jazz and Summer Pops music camps for students entering grades 6 to 9. The Jazz Camp, in it’s fifth year, was sponsored by the Mile High Jazz Band Association. It included learning swing, rock, and Latin styles and an introduction to improvisation.
The Pops Camp, new this year, was sponsored by the Capital City Community Band. It included learning movie themes, marches, and pop songs.
Both youth programs were led by Nick Jacques, who is Carson Middle School Band Director, Capital City Community Band Director, and NMEA All-State Music Festival Coordinator. Guest instructors assisted. A total of 45 students participated in one or both programs.
The Summer Showcase concert is supported in part by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
