The LaGuardia High School Parents Association Presents: Swingin' into Spring with the FAMEous High School Jazz Orchestra

Brush off the winter blues and swing into spring with an unforgettable evening of big band jazz by one of New York City’s premier student ensembles. Under the dynamic direction of Kevin Blancq, this powerhouse big band brings the energy, sophistication, and spirit of the jazz tradition to life through a program rooted in timeless repertoire and masterful musicianship.

From hard-driving swing to lush ballads and high-octane ensemble passages, this exceptional young jazz orchestra showcases the precision, creativity, and passion that have earned them widespread awards and recognition. These talented musicians perform with a level of maturity and polish that rivals professional ensembles, honoring the legacy of classic jazz while infusing it with a fresh and vibrant voice of their own.

This special concert is more than an evening of great music—it’s a celebration with a purpose. In association with the LaGuardia High School Parents Association, proceeds from the event will directly support the band’s upcoming study and performance trip to Denmark in April, where students will have the rare opportunity to engage in international cultural exchange, study jazz in a global context, and represent New York City on an international stage.

Come enjoy a night of irresistible swing, support the next generation of jazz artists, and help send this outstanding ensemble abroad. Your presence makes a difference—and the music will move you.
