Artesia's "BIG BAND" Travel to New Orleans!

Artesia High School Jazz Band is requesting your support in covering the cost to travel to the birthplace of Jazz- New Orleans. The Southern California based High School Jazz "Big Band" is a 22-piece ensemble looking to participate in a once in a lifetime travel performance experience that is not possible without your support.

Artesia’s “Big Band” is directed by Mr.Esteban Adame who has introduced the love of jazz to his students. He strongly believes that experiences such as these not only allow the students to grow as musicians, but it allows them to expand their view of the world as a whole. With your support students will be able to obtain more than a musical experience. This experience will widen their scope of the world and allow these students to make a greater connection with communities beyond their immediate neighborhood.

Activities while in New Orleans include:

Visit the French Quarter and take in the sights of the birthplace of jazz!

Jazz festival performance

AIM workshop

Masquerade Themed Award Ceremony

Natchez Riverboat Ride

Enjoy New Orleans Cookin’

The Artesia High School Jazz “Big Band” hopes to participate in this life changing experience. One that will deepen their appreciation of America’s true art form… Jazz! Please help our “Big Band” in making this trip possible.

Thank you in advance for your kind consideration and donation.
