WHAT: Spring Ball, UMM Big Jazz Band Fundraiser
WHEN: Saturday, March 29, 8-11:30 p.m.
WHERE: Lakeside Ballroom, Glenwood
Do you remember dancing to Glen Miller, Count Basie and Duke Ellington? Did you meet your best friend under a sparkling silver ball that glistened on the dance floor below? Or do you just love the Big Band jazz sound or a swingin' good time out with friends?
If you answered a resounding "YES!" to any or all of the above, you won't want to miss this year's Spring Ball on Saturday, March 29, at the Historic Lakeside Ballroom in Glenwood. The public is invited to get in the swing and join in the fun.
The University of Minnesota, Morris Big Jazz Band with director, James "Doc" Carlson will provide the beat. This fourth annual fundraiser is set for 8-11:30 p.m. at the Lakeside Ballroom on Lakeshore Drive South, Lake Minnewaska in Glenwood.
You don't have to pay big bucks to enjoy the evening. Donations will be accepted from $0-$1,000. Proceeds will go toward the UMM Humanities Phase III project and the John Q. Imholte Scholarship. Prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed couple and the best dancing couple.
Launched on the occasion of his retirement as chancellor of UMM, the John Q. Imholte Endowed Scholarship is awarded to upper division students who have completed 90 credits of coursework and demonstrated outstanding academic ability. The Humanities Phase III Performing Arts Center Project targets plans for a performance space in Humanities Fine Arts at UMM.
Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Big Band era, along with complimentary refreshments... all for a good cause.
