The Wisconsin Foundation for School Music invites you to help kick off this year’s Wisconsin State Music Conference with a free concert for the whole community: The Big Payback

The Big Payback is a hard-hitting Funk/Rock/R&B band featuring the soulful vocals of Leah Isabel Tirado and a smoking horn section. Exploring everything from funk-laden and world-beat originals to soul and R&B classics, The Big Payback will leave the crowd as exhilarated as the musicians themselves.

The Wisconsin Foundation for School Music provides contributed support for the Wisconsin School Music Association’s District and State Solo and Ensemble Festivals and Concert Festivals, State Honors Music Project, State Marching Band Competition, the Student Composition Project, and other initiatives. I’m on the board. See you there?
