CHULA VISTA, Calif. – Help “Strike up the Band!” Through a long process of auditions and competitions, the Eastlake High School Band has received a formal invitation to play at the world-renowned Carnegie Hall and now needs help from the community to make this dream come true for the students.
There are 101 students participating, and the cost for each student is nearly $2,200. Unfortunately, there is no district or school funding available.
On Friday, February 20th and Saturday, February 21st, a benefit concert will take place at New Hope Community Church in Chula Vista from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the suggested donation is $10 per person.
Many local bands and celebrities have volunteered to help make this a fantastic evening. The lineup consists of Rising Star Band; Jackals; Before 5; South Bay Community Chorale; New Hope Community Gospel Choir; Eastlake Middle School Concert Band and Eastlake High School Concert & Jazz Bands.
The Eastlake High School Band is a highly acclaimed musical ensemble that promotes, upholds and values team spirit, sportsmanship and musical excellence.
