Concert marks school auditorium opening

Sisters High School will host the band Slick Side Down in a concert to celebrate the opening of the new Sisters High School Auditorium.

The concert has been scheduled as a student activity on Wednesday, October 22, from 8:30 to 11 p.m. Due to parent-teacher conferences, high school students do not attend school the following day and will be able to enjoy a late-night school activity.

Slick Side Down is a Funk/Acid Jazz/Fusion group currently in the midst of a two-month standing engagement at Barcelona Jazz and Tapas in Bend. According to Sisters music teacher Jody Henderson, they have been well received by standing-room-only crowds.

The quartet features Andy Warr on saxophone, A.J. Cohen on keyboards, Joe Plass on bass and Howard Clarke on drums.

The Sisters community is invited to the concert. Students will have access to presale tickets for $4 at school. Tickets for the public will be available at the door at $5 each.
