Los Alamos Creative District News:

Los Alamos Creative District will kick-off Tuesdays at the Pond Summer Performance series tonight with the LAHS Jazz Ensemble and DALA.

Tonight’s entertainment begins at 5:30 p.m. at Ashley Pond Park Stage with DALA – Dance Arts Los Alamos sharing some dance performances by a few of their youth dance classes.

The LAHS 2022 Jazz Band will play one last time tonight from 6-8pm. This is a very special group of student musicians – 8 of 24 are recently graduated seniors and 8 of those 24 made top honors this year at the NMMEA Jazz All-State competition. The group received very high “Superior” ratings at the Albuquerque Jazz Festival, was the opening act for the LA Summer Concert Series, and performed a two hour swing dance at the Senior Center in early May. Some of that show will be part of the performance tonight. Swing dancing will be highly encouraged.

“Please show these two groups of youth performers some love and stop by 5:30-8 p.m. at Ashley Pond today. Pick up some food and drinks at a local establishment, bring your blankets and lawn chairs, and come enjoy the show.” –Los Alamos Creative District.

The 2022 Tuesdays at the Pond entertainment series is sponsored by Zia Credit Union, stop by their booth at the pond each Tuesday to chat and see what new swag they have to give out.
