| Spring Fling Swing Dance Credits |
|
Thanks to our dedicated teachers, talented BHSN jazz band students, volunteers, and donors, the Spring Fling Swing Dance was a great success! The cafeteria was beautiful (if you can imagine!), the music was awesome, the desserts were mouth-watering, and everyone had great fun dancing. On top of that, over $3000 was raised for the band program! If you missed it, be sure to come next time! View pictures under Albums > Jazz Bands > Swing Dance! And here's a YouTube video of the finale. A BIG THANKS to Janis Parker, who planned and organized the whole event practically single-handedly! She did a stupendous job! Thanks to Joy Main for a great job with publicity. And thank you to all the student and parent volunteers who set up, cleaned up, and worked during the event. Another BIG THANKS to the IU Ballroom Dance Club, sponsored by IU Rec Sports, who provided instruction and inspiration at the dance, gathered and donated items for the silent auction and raffle, and shared their energy and enthusiasm. In particular, we'd like to recognize Rebecca Mandell, who is charge of Community Outreach! We are grateful also to IU students Carl Kensicki and Leah Boresow, who led four swing dance tutorials at North. A round of applause is due for our excellent Master of Ceremonies, Perry Metz, General Manager of WTIU and now a "band parent" himself! Also to performer and teacher Sarah Flint, our guest vocalist. Sarah generously donated all her preparation, rehearsal, and performance time! 
The following wonderful restaurants donated the "Lindy-licious" desserts:
Nearly $3,000 worth of items were donated for the Silent Auction and Gift Basket Raffle. Thank you to the following businesses for their generosity!
