Children must be accompanied by an adult. There will be stroller-parking corral inside the Sheldon's Great Hall.
The band will play from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m. and as with all Jazz in June programs, it's free. Composed of brothers Curt and Randy Bright and guitarist/drummer Freddy Kerr, the band offers songs with silly lyrics and catchy tunes designed to entertain and teach.

The alphabet comes alive in "Gophers in Loafers," and kids become roaring dinosaurs during a fossil hunt in "Diggin' Dinosaurs."
