Swing into spring with the New Westminster Secondary School music department.

The school is hosting its annual jazz night, Swing Into Spring, at the Anvil Centre on Thursday, May 14.

The event will feature five award-winning groups: the school’s four jazz bands and the senior vocal jazz group – three of whom will have just returned from the prestigious Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff.

The senior vocal jazz group and the Grade 12 jazz band, Rinse Wash Repeat, will be playing 45- to 60-minute sets. The school will also be joined by professional tenor sax player Steve Kaldestad as guest artist.

As an added bonus, audience members can choose from regular or cabaret-style seating.

The whole event is a fundraiser for the NWSS music program, and the night will include various fundraising efforts including door prizes and a cash bar with snacks and drinks.

Tickets are $25 and $20, available through www.ticketsnw.com or by calling 604-521-5050.

It all starts at 7 p.m. at the Anvil Centre, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Check out www.nwssmusic.com for all the details.
