The Bill Ganz Western Band will provide the entertainment, playing the Western heritage classics that have made them a Tucson favorite for almost 20 years. Attendees will get a preview of the Bill Ganz Western Band's performance with the TSO Pops! the following weekend, March 26, 27 and 28 at the Tucson Music Hall, where they will perform such hits as "Ghost Riders in the Sky," which were inspired right here in Tucson. Country Line Dancing instructors will also be on hand to teach the basics and create a festive atmosphere.
Tickets to Boots 'N' Spurs are $100 per person; $50 is tax deductible because the event is a fundraiser for the Tucson Symphony Orchestra League, which supports the Tucson Symphony Orchestra through fundraising programs and events. TSOL President Norma Ancona says it isn't necessary to dress up for Boots 'N' Spurs, "just jeans and boots and maybe a cowboy hat." For an invitation or reservation call Jo Clark (520) 885-2179.
