The Swing Dance is an annual GP Band Booster fundraising event that is open to the public and features live music from GPHS Jazz Bands I & II, the VVMS Jazz Band, and an hour of professional swing dance lessons to start the evening.

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to volunteer OR provide treats & drinks! However, we still need Gluten Free snacks/treats and parent VOLUNTEERS to help make this event successful. Donations of snacks and treats are needed to stock the concession stand.  Volunteers are needed for set-up, decorating, ticketing, manning the concession stand and Italian Soda Bar, and clean-up at the end of the event. If you are interested in donating and/or volunteering, please visit grizzlyband.org/volunteer to sign-up. Thank you in advance for supporting your band student and the GPHS and VVMS Band Programs.
