New Prague High School Evening of Jazz with the Westwind Swing Band!

Westwind Swing Band gives back to the community mentoring the musicians of tomorrow!
We were super excited to join the New Prague High School jazz band for a joint performance! Each band performed a few tunes on their own, then came together for the last two! It was a lot of fun showing the young musicians that music can be a part of your life at any age.

Fun Note: The Wabasha Street Caves are the only remaining restored Gangster Era site in Saint Paul. They offer historic tours of extensive caves carved into the hillside in long abandoned mining ventures in 1800's. Later, the caves were used as a mushroom farm, and then developed as a Restaurant Casino and Gangsters' Hotspot during the 1930's prohibition era. Newspapers reported an unsolved gangland murder at the casino. Tour guides point out the bullet holes. Some believe the caves are haunted by the murdered mobsters whose bodies were never found... Check out this fascinating spot! It's more than Thursday Night Swing Dancing! https://www.wabashacaves.com/
