Erich is excited to be returning to Governor Mifflin. The concert will take place at Governor Mifflin Senior High School on the exact same stage that Erich started performing on as a freshman in 1994 as a highly involved member of the GM Music Department. Most recently, Erich had the honor of performing at Governor Mifflin for his debut Solo CD Release Concert in 2022 for a special Berks Jazz Fest Preview Show. His All-Star Big Band includes a "Who's Who" of Pennsylvania musicians including Steve Rudolph, Marko Marcinko, Bennie Sims, Tom Strohman, Rob Stoneback, Frank DiBussolo, Chris Heslop, Chandler Judkins, Bob Stoyko, and many others. They will be joined by Special Guest Vocalist Amy Banks. Originally from Minnesota, she has appeared on stage and screen all over the world, but calls Lancaster, Pennsylvania home after relocating there to perform at the American Music Theatre. Since then, she has self-published and produced five music CDs, of which her third CD, When the Sun Comes Out, reached Chartbound status at JazzWeek.
Opening the show will be some of Governor Mifflin's top musical organizations including The "Statesmen" Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Andrew Cusano, The "Governors" under the direction of Mr. Greg Hill, and The Middle School "Diplomats" Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Miss Stephanie Carter assisted by Mr. Travis Williamson.
A portion of the evening's proceeds will benefit The Governor Mifflin Music Association. The Governor Mifflin Music Association (GMMA) is a registered non-profit organization supporting all music programming for grades K-12 in the Governor Mifflin School District (GMSD). GMMA lends all possible support, cooperation, and resources to the music department of GMSD through fundraising and promoting an enthusiastic public interest in all music programming within the district.
