West Ranch High School officials are “truly honored” to have their campus chosen as the location for a special one night only performance from the Count Basie Orchestra, one of the most celebrated and acclaimed jazz orchestras in the world, officials said.

Fresh off the orchestra’s 80th anniversary in 2015, the group is still going strong, with their first ever Christmas album reaching No. 1 on the jazz charts and selling out at major online retailers, such as Amazon.

Currently led by long time member Scotty Barnhart, who was a featured soloist with the orchestra before being elevated to director three years ago.

The event is scheduled to take place Monday, Nov. 28, at the West Ranch High School campus with a start time of 7 p.m.

The concert will double as a fundraiser with proceeds going to support the West Ranch High School music program. Tickets are currently available, starting at $35 and can be purchased online here. Additionally you can visit these retailers located throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.
