19-Piece Compaq Big Band w/ Vocalist Cara Campanelli at Brockton HS Holiday Fundraiser Concert

What do you call a superfecta? It’s when 1) the Compaq Big Band gets to play our Christmas book, 2) as part of a multi-ensemble night to raise funds for high school jazz music, 3) in a great 1600-seat performance hall, and 4) with one of our very own alums hosting the show as their new band director! All this happens on Friday December 13th at the Edwin A. Nelson Fine &amp; Applied Arts Center at Brockton High School in Brockton, Massachusetts. Our host is CBB alum Kevin Kardel, who will be directing opening sets by both the Junior and Advanced Jazz Bands of Brockton High School. This will be an amazing evening filled with seasonal favorites like you’ve never heard them before - exciting, inspirational, and just plain fun. It’ll be an even-more-than-most wonderful time of the year sharing the stage with these talented young jazz musicians, and even the biggest Grinch can’t help but get in the Christmas spirit for this concert! The show runs 7:00pm-9:00pm. Tickets are $20pp. All seating is General Admission, and cash at the door only. Doors open 6:00pm. Brockton High School is located at 470 Forest Avenue, with the entrance for the Nelson Center on the south side of the complex. IMPORTANT: *** DUE TO SCAMMERS THAT MAY CREATE VERY AUTHENTIC-LOOKING WEB SITES, AND/OR COMMENTS TO THIS FACEBOOK POST OFFERING TICKETS VIA PERSONAL SALE, BUY TICKETS AT THE DOOR ONLY! WE’LL TAKE DOWN FRAUDSTERS’ COMMENTS, AND BLOCK &amp; REPORT THEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE *** The styles you’ll hear on December 13th run the gamut from traditional swing to very UNtraditional jazz rock, ballad, samba and jazz waltz tunes – dominated by high-energy instrumental arrangements from legendary big band arrangers such as Gordon Goodwin, Count Basie, Tom Kubis, Sammy Nestico, Dave Metzger, and John Clayton. Out front that evening on vocals will be one of our supremely talented regional vocal stars, Cara Campanelli. She’ll be channelin’ Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, Linda Eder, Mariah Carey, and much more - only the best vocal treatments of seasonal classics. To get a tiny sample of what you’re in for, take a listen to the Tom Kubis Big Band performing the instrumental “Joy To The World” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Tx6lZEzNo. And, for a vocal preview, check out Diana Krall and the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra on “Jingle Bells” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SABWU6im1do">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SABWU6im1do</a> .
