The KSO’s Newport Ragtime Band uncovers the roots of America’s pop music history from spirituals to the music of Betty Boop. You will clap, sing and chair dance along to the authentic sounds of 1898-1936.
A TANK Shuttle Bus will depart every half hour from Covington Catholic High School (CCHS) on Dixie Highway starting at 6 p.m through 7:30 p.m., for $1 each way. Chairs and coolers are allowed on buses. At the end of the program, shuttle buses line Band Shell Blvd. to return immediately to the CCHS parking lot.
