WHS Music Director Pat Kennedy said “This event is both educational and a fun way for the Westfield High School Band to raise money and will be a great experience for the students to perform with a professional group of musicians.”
The proceeds will be used to support Westfield High School’s music program that enrolls students in the band and orchestra. The Westfield High School band has over 100 students enrolled in the school music program.
Concert promoter Paul Lococo said, “You never know who will be the next John, Paul, George or Ringo or in fact the next number one hit group.” Tickets for the show are available on line atwww.purplepass.com, at Rocky’s Ace Hardware on Main St. and The Press Room on School St. or by calling 800-316-8559. “Tickets are expected to sell out quickly with only 750 seats availble in this intimate venue for concert goers.
