JAZZ BAND at THE VENUE (4/29/25)
Our PNHS Jazz Band will be performing at the Venue in Aurora, IL on April 29th, 2025. The Venue is a very cool place to see music and is nestled in downtown Aurora at 21 S. Broadway.
We will be performing with Plainfield South and the Pete Ellman Big Band. The schedule for the evening will be as follows:
Plainfield North High School 6:30-7:00 PM
Plainfield South High School 7:00-7:30 PM
Pete Ellman Big Band 7:30- 9:00 PM
You may use the following link to order tickets- http://themusicvenue.org/. This will be our first time doing this performance with 2 high school groups, so I would suggest pre-ordering tickets to ensure that you have good seats. The venue sells beverages and snacks. As a result, they will not allow any carry-in beverages. You may bring in food from outside, and Jimmy Johns will even deliver. However, they will not allow you to bring in any beverages with your meal.
Public parking is available in the area, with most people typically parking in the public parking lot one block to the south of the Venue. Any questions, contact Jason LaVallee jlavalle@psd202.org
JUST DESSERTS 5/1/25
Our Just Desserts event is coming up on Thursday, May 1. The planning committee is looking for 1-2 additional volunteers to help with coordinating and planning the event..
