As April approaches, the final days of March are filled with multiple performances by the various performing arts groups at this school.

From choral competitions to the spring musical, arguably the most extravagant of these, according to Lexie Krohn, member of Jazz 1 and junior, is the Jazz at the Roof concert. It is performed by the three different jazz bands here at 8 tonight in the Indiana Roof Ballroom.

“Every year there is really great dancing, awesome music and everyone who goes always has a lot of fun,” Krohn said.

The concert at the Ballroom is located at 140 W. Washington St. in Indianapolis. According to Performing Arts Director Andrew Cook, the Jazz at the Roof is an annual tradition. In addition to a dance, adults may attend a formal dinner. Typically, high school students only attend the dance.

Students will have access to a cash-only soft drink bar and the dance floor at the Indiana Roof Ballroom during the concert.

“I went last year and it was a lot of fun to just get all dressed up in a pretty dress and go dance to some real music with my friends,” senior Frances Morton said. “I am most definitely going to go again this year (to the concert).”

Krohn said, “The Jazz at the Roof is basically just a chance for lots of students and their closest friends to go out and listen to jazz while having a good time dancing.”

The money made from ticket sales will go mainly to renting out the ballroom for the night and the drinks, according to Cook.

Krohn said, “It should be a fun night, I’m really excited for it. My friends and I already know what we’re going to wear.”
