This Week's Program

The Estes Park High School Jazz Band, under the direction of Chuck Varilek, will play at the regular meeting of the Rotary Club of Estes Park on Thursday, April 24. Since the September flood, this will be noon Rotary’s first meeting back in the Park Village Theater, which is located adjacent to the Other Side Restaurant.

 

Mr. Varilek is the director of all the high school and middle school bands. Under his direction, the bands continue to win awards and place highly in state competitions. In addition to school events, the bands have entertained at various community programs. Most recently, the EPHS Jazz Band participated in the Rotary Cub sponsored "It's Showtime," a program to raise money for high school scholarships.

 

The selections in Thursday's program are chosen to demonstrate the high degree of professionalism and accomplishment in the musical training and studies of our high school musicians.

 

In addition to working with students, Mr. Varilek has been very active in the Estes Park community directing local music groups such as The Estes Park Village Band and the Estes Park Jazz Big Band.  These bands have been providing entertainment for the community for many years. Also, he is well known for his participation as a member of the dance band "The Kings Of Swing."
