The Sycamore Music Boosters is pleased to announce their 7th annual “Note to Remember” event which will be held this Saturday, February 14, 2015. This fundraiser will be held at Blumen Gardens from 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm featuring Mardra and Reggie Thomas Ensemble. Mardra Thomas is a true jazz vocalist and is known for her realistic portrayal of Billie Holiday in concert and on the theatre stage. Her music career was sparked in the St. Louis area when she performed for the opening of Dizzy Gillespie’s 70th Birthday Concert. Shortly thereafter she found herself trading scat solos with world-class trumpeter Clark Terry while performing with the East St. Louis Lincoln Big Band under the direction of renowned educator Ronald Carter.
Local group Jazz In Progress will also perform, as well as the Sycamore High School Jazz Ensemble and other various school ensembles. An elegant, sweet and savory hors d’oeuvres buffet and coffee bar will be included along with numerous raffle and silent auction prizes donated by local businesses.
The Sycamore Music Boosters is a group of families and friends of students enrolled in music education classes in Sycamore Schools. This fundraiser will aid in the purchase of instruments, uniforms, and scholarships for Sycamore’s talented musicians.
A limited number of tickets are available for this adult-only event at $25.00 per person which includes musical entertainment, hors d’oeuvres and coffee bar. A cash bar will also be available.
