For generations of Indianapolis men and women, the words “Indiana Roof Ballroom” evoke memories of jazz and swinging dance bands under twinkling skies. In keeping with the Roof’s esthetic and art deco style, we are hosting a dinner reception, with a renowned jazz band and martinis under the stars.

Enjoy the ambiance of a quaint, European village. Dance to the music of the Buselli/Wallarab Sextet — a variety of music from the 30’s and 40’s — swing to jazz! Mark Buselli and Brent Wallarab are music educators, musicians and composers. Wallarab has served as Specialist in Jazz for the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. He has transcribed, edited, and restored nearly 300 works for big band deemed by the Smithsonian as national treasures. Wallarab also performs as lead and solo trombonist for the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. Buselli is head of Jazz Studies at Ball State University in Indiana and currently serves as Education Director of the Buselli-Wallarab Jazz Orchestra in Indianapolis where he has created educational opportunities for over six thousand students. This is a unique opportunity to network and enjoy world-class jazz in a rarefied, magical, art-deco setting. Drinks (and martinis), dinner and desserts will be served.

All Virtual School Symposium (VSS) attendees are invited to attend the Thursday night networking and dinner reception.
