Woodland Park Wind Symphony's Swing Factory Big Band is doing their 2024 Christmas concert at the historical Butte Theater in Cripple Creek. This is a new venue for Swing Factory and we all are excited about performing in the Butte!
The most exciting part of this free concert is that monetary donations are being encouraged and these funds will go to the Aspen Mine Center and it's "A Place for Kids" day care project. Ted Borden will be at the concert and have the Aspen Mine Center's donation table set up to receive funds and provide information.
Woodland Park Wind Symphony and Swing Factory Big Band are especially glad to be working with the Aspen Mine Center and the Butte Theater to provide great big band music and help raise funds for this project. more info...
