Legendary Big Band Performer

At NHS

The Newtown High School Band Parents presents a live performance by Maynard Ferguson and his Big Bop Nouveau Band on Thursday, February 17, at 7:30 pm, in the auditorium of Newtown High School in Sandy Hook.

Mr Ferguson is a jazz legend, internationally renowned big band leader, and one of the world’s most accomplished trumpet and brass instrument players. Mr Ferguson and his Big Bop Nouveau Band draw upon bebop, jazz, funk, swing, classical, and contemporary music to create a fresh sound within the classic big band form. His recording of “Gonna Fly Now” (theme from Rocky) rocketed him to fame with a top ten single, a gold album, and one of three Grammy nominations.

Tickets are $20 each. All proceeds will benefit the Newtown High School Band and Color Guard. For ticket information, call 270-4644, ext 2263.
