Briar Chapel Helps Bring Glenn Miller Orchestra to Northwood High School

Northwood High School's Jazz Ensemble will present a special concert for the community on Tuesday, February 9, at 7 p.m. at NHS’s newly renovated Benjamin J. Lee Auditorium.

In addition to the Jazz Ensemble, the world famous Glenn Miller Orchestra will also perform at the concert. Originally formed in 1937, they have recorded a number of hits over the years, including "Tuxedo Junction," "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "(I've Got a Gal In) Kalamazoo."

Tickets to the concert are available online until January 26 and thereafter, if any tickets remain, at the door. Reserved seats are $10 and General Admission is only $5. Profits will underwrite the Jazz Ensemble trip to Florida next month to compete in the internationally recognized Disney Jazz Celebration.

Partial funding for the Glenn Miller Orchestra was provided by ChathamArts & Briar Chapel.
