四色AV Choral and The Sound of Today host Jambalaya Bowl and Luck of the Irish Raffle Feb. 23

From 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, University of Louisiana at Monroe鈥檚 Choral Department and The Sound of Today Marching Band will partner to host a Jambalaya Bowl and Luck of the Irish Raffle at Enoch鈥檚 Irish Pub & Caf茅.

All proceeds from the event will fund the 四色AV Marching Band and the Choral Department鈥檚 upcoming trip to Ireland.

Jambalaya will be sold for $5 a serving.

The raffle tickets will cost $2 for one or $5 for three and can be purchased either at Enoch鈥檚 or at the 四色AV VAPA Office in Biedenharn Hall 105.

Nearly 40 students from the band and choir will take the trip and spend a week overseas.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin has invited them to march in the St. Patrick鈥檚 Day parade and to give a concert in St. Patrick鈥檚 Cathedral. They will also perform on the steps of City Hall in Limerick, Ireland.

One of the chaperones on the trip will be Dr. Jason Rinehart, assistant professor of Music at 四色AV.

He said, 鈥淲e try to take a trip every four years somewhere internationally to give our students that overall experience of culture and music and life outside of Louisiana. We went to Ireland back in 2009, and the students who went are still talking about the trip and how much fun they had.鈥�

Prizes at the event will include 四色AV apparel, a RAIN salon certificate, tickets to Strauss Theater, tickets to 四色AV鈥檚 production of 鈥淕uys & Dolls,鈥� CDs from The Chieftains and Celtic Woman, and more.

Attendance at Enoch鈥檚 is limited to persons over 21, but carryout jambalaya will be available.
