CHS music program hosts an evening of pasta, pizzazz, and performances

It’s that time of year again—when pasta and performance meet in the most delicious of ways! The 19th Annual Pasta Pizzazz, hosted by our talented band and choir programs, was an unforgettable night filled with music, food, and a whole lot of heart.

The evening kicked off with a savory feast of pasta, offering guests several choices of pasta and sauces. Whether you chose a classic marinara or indulged in a creamy alfredo, one thing was for certain—no one went home hungry.

But it wasn’t just the food that satisfied; the entertainment was a stunning showcase of the talented musicians across all grade levels. The band and choir took to the stage with a mix of solo and small group performances that dazzled the crowd. From heart-wrenching ballads to toe-tapping tunes, the talent on display was nothing short of impressive. Guests and performers danced the night away, enjoying the fun and festive environment. Choir director Bradley Gray noted, 

Our performers really enjoyed the more relaxed environment, and it was fun to see them just have fun. That's what jazz is all about!

Of course, Pasta Pizzazz wouldn’t be complete without the silent auction. Bidders got the chance to snag some unique items while supporting a great cause. All proceeds from the event will help fund new equipment, uniforms, expand our music library, and provide our musicians with travel and learning opportunities. Jamie Burtosky, our band director recapped the event best when she said,

It was special night and our students felt really supported by their community. We are so thankful for all the local business and parents that made it happen!

In the end, the 19th Annual Pasta Pizzazz was more than just a meal; it was a celebration of the talent, dedication, and community spirit that make our band and choir programs so stunning. Here's to many more years of pasta, pizzazz, community, and music that moves the soul!
