Holiday Evening
at Edison State Presents Lucky Chops
The 21st Annual Holiday Evening at Edison State will be held on
Wednesday, November 28th at the Edison State Community College. We are
happy to announce that five-member brass band, Lucky Chops, will be
changing things up this year with their redefined sound and energy.
Proceeds from this event directly benefit The Edison Foundation
Scholarship Fund which supports Edison State students through
scholarship opportunities.
We are excited about an additional component of this year’s event! We
will be handing Lucky Chops over and they will be conducting Edison
State Music Education Clinics for local junior and high school jazz
band members on Thursday, November 29. These clinics have been made
possible and are sponsored by the Miami County Foundation and the Piqua
Community Foundation.
The members of Lucky Chops attended New York City’s LaGuardia Arts High
School and got their start by performing in the New York City subway
system. In 2015, a South American tourist posted their performance
online and changed everything. The video went viral and Lucky Chops
soon found themselves on a European tour. Upon their return, they
appeared as the house band for a season of MTV’s hit talk show “Girl
Code Live”. The band is passionate about visiting schools across the
globe and holding masterclasses to inspire younger generations of
musicians.
“Lucky Chops is a very entertaining instrumental group,” stated Holiday
Evening Chair Stan Evans. “They are very active in the performance of
their shows and provide great entertainment for all ages, from
high-school to mature listeners. This event is a wonderful way to start
the Holiday Season. You will have a fun evening visiting with friends,
enjoying great food and hearing some very entertaining music. You will
go home with a smile on your face, a song or two in your head and you
can be pleased knowing you just helped a deserving student move ahead
in their college career.”
A limited number of tickets are available. Tickets are $125 per person
and sell out quickly. Tickets may be purchased online at
