Presented by the Jazz Bands & Jazz Ensembles of Wheaton North High School

Get into The Swing of Things with the jazz bands of Wheaton North High School. This annual swing dance keeps WNHS jumping with three hours of jazz and swing music performed by the student musicians at Wheaton North and jazz bands from Franklin and Monroe Middle Schools. Proceeds from the night benefit the entire band program.

The evening includes swing dance lessons, a raffle, and an online auction. Light refreshments will also be available.

Join us for free dance lessons from 6-7pm, followed by live music and dancing from 7-10pm.

The Swing of Things will be held on Saturday, March 16th, 2024, in The Commons at Wheaton North High School, 701 W. Thomas Rd, Wheaton.
