Big Band Beats for Little Feet

Bring your tamariki to experience Ōtautahi's Sideline Swing! They'll enjoy the sounds of trumpets, trombones, saxophones, clarinets and flutes, alongside vocalists, piano, bass, guitar and drums. Join in with dancing, shakers and singing as the band presents an interactive big band experience featuring child-friendly big band favourites from the recordings of Julie Wylie, Ella Fitzgerald, Ukebabe and Michal Bush. Come upstairs to the first floor and follow the signs to the Tautoru/TSB space. Stay afterwards for a chance to see some of the instruments up close! Especially designed for 2 - 7 year olds. Free, bookings required. This event is part of the Christchurch Big Band Jazz Festival.
