All That Jazz brings Farmington High School Jazz Band Thursday 7-9 p.m.

The Farmington High School Jazz Band brought big-band favorites to the Farmington Elks Club at 801 Municipal Dr. from 7-9 p.m. Feb. 16, presenting All That Jazz as a relaxed, community-focused evening rather than a formal recital. Tri-City Record's event listing described the night as "not a traditional sit-and-listen concert" with an open dance floor and room for guests to mingle.

Admission was handled at the door: Tri-City Record's ad copy states, "Admission is $10 for students and $20 for adults, payable at the door." The program's musical range ran "from swing to freestyle," with the band delivering a "lively selection of classic and contemporary jazz favorites" and organizers encouraging attendees to "get up and move" during numbers intended for dancing.

Alexander Olivas, Director of Bands at Farmington High School, framed the concert as an educational opportunity and community showcase. "Our students thrive when they have opportunities to perform in real-world settings," said Alexander Olivas, Director of Bands at Farmington High School. "The jazz program at Farmington High School pushes our student to grow as musicians and develop skills that will serve them long after high school. This event allows them to really showcase their hard work in a setting that brings the community together."

Program materials emphasize the Farmington High School music program's broader aims, noting that "the Farmington High School music program works to be a strong and vibrant part of the school community, providing students with opportunities to grow artistically while developing discipline and collaboration skills that extend beyond the stage." The All That Jazz event was presented as both a performance opportunity for students and a social evening intended to draw parents, friends and other community members to the Elks Club.

Tri-City Record's longer preview of the event appeared as ad copy on the news site and included promotional language and an editorial omission indicated by "[...]" in the supplied excerpt. A fragment posted by the Farmington High School Jazz Band on Facebook reinforced the invitation, repeating that the band "invites the community to a fun-filled evening of big band favorites at All That Jazz, happening from 7 – 9" before the post was truncated.

The event listing did not provide a detailed set list, the band's rosters, or logistical items such as accessibility information, ticket pre-sale options, food and beverage availability, or whether proceeds support the music program. Those details remain points for follow-up with Farmington High School music staff or the Farmington Elks Club for readers seeking further information.
