The EEU Scholarship Fund supports graduating EEU students every June and is commemorated by this unforgettable evening of Big Band with the All-Star Alumni Concert every 5 years.
“An opportunity to share a stage with some of my all time favorite students, who have absolutely become some of my all time favorite musicians, is just something too good to pass up. I can’t wait to see everyone,” said Mr. Davis.

EEU Scholarship Fund 2022
This event began in 2017 to establish the EEU Scholarship Fund. A retirement wish for a killer Alumni band gave way to talking about starting one sooner than later. Mr. Davis said, “in my conversations with some of the great musicians that have already graduated, they asked, why wait for 30 years? They’re ready now!”
It’s been 5 years since the last unforgettable evening featuring your favorite EEU Grads. Mr. Davis is proud that “the first Fund from the 2017 Alumni Concert has allowed us to support the dreams of many fine musicians.”
As part of our EEU music community, help us continue this tradition and pledge to the EEU Scholarship Fund. As a “Friend of Big Band,” your donation enters you in the Pledge Drive Contest and a chance to win: EEU & Jazz Swag gifts!!
The success of this event relies heavily on your generosity. We appreciate your consideration to support this event. If you prefer to speak with Brad Davis, Band Director, contact at, bdavis@pylusd.org, or (714)986-7540 ex:13711.
