Your Support Matters Today for Students Across the Midwest
The Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra will tour again in 2022 and needs your help. As many of you know, 95% of all our engagements are in high schools and colleges, in keeping with Stan’s commitment to jazz education. These days, schools just can’t afford to bring in a big band such as ours, but they would LOVE to have us in to work with their students.
Any school that books the band for an evening concert gets a FREE afternoon clinic from the whole band. We also have their school band open for us at the concert. So, once again we are asking for your support to make our 2022 tour a success. Our tour dates are flexible for Spring 2022. With your help, we can make the band even more available financially for these schools.
Barnstorm with the SKLO - Ride on the Bus!
"A JAZZ CRUISE ON LAND"
For the past 15 years, when the Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra tours, we have had fans travel on the bus with us. They ride the bus, stay in the same hotels as the band, eat some meals with the band and attend all the clinics and concerts. Many who have joined us have said that it was one of the great experiences of their life.
Anyone can travel for the whole tour or pick a series of days during the tour to meet up with the bus.
There is a reasonable daily fee which includes everything described above.
Please contact us if you are interested in more information.
