FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: LOCAL SCHOOL CHOIRS TO EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC ON STAGE WITH BARRY MANILOW AT PARIS LAS VEGAS Beginning on November 12th Clark County School District Choir Groups Will Perform With Barry Manilow at Paris Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (November 11th, 2010) – Legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow is giving Clark County School District high school and middle school choirs the chance of a lifetime to perform on stage with the icon as a part of his critically acclaimed show at Paris Las Vegas beginning on Friday, November 12th beginning with Valley High School, and continuing on subsequent weekends into December with Lawrence Middle School, West Middle School and Von Tobel Middle School. Manilow is thrilled to include the local students in his show. “The Las Vegas Community has welcomed me like a native son and the chance to share the stage with the future stars of tomorrow gives me great joy,” says Manilow. Manilow’s non-profit organization, the Manilow Music Project, put half a million dollars worth of musical instruments into the hands of fifteen Clark County School District middle schools and high schools at a celebratory delivery and distribution event on October 7th in Las Vegas. Reinvigorating the school system’s music program at a critical time of need, and credited with putting instruments in the hands of 600 students who would otherwise be unable to participate; this is the single largest donation of its kind in Clark County School District history for a music program. Manilow credits his own secondary school music program as the genesis of his devotion to a legendary career in music, and considers the Manilow Music Project his chance to share that love of music with thousands of aspiring young musicians. The Manilow Music Project is also funded by the Manilow Paris Platinum Experience Tickets. “The incredible generosity of Barry Manilow will make a tremendous difference in the lives of thousands of children," said Superintendent Walt Rulffes. "Our district is fortunate to have his talents, time and philanthropy at work for our children. This is an exciting opportunity for our students, and I look forward to their performances.” Manilow is currently performing more than 78 shows a year for two years at the Paris Théâtre at Paris Las Vegas. The shows are produced by STILETTO Entertainment in conjunction with AEG Live and Paris Las Vegas. The Platinum Experience Ticket (which funds the MMP to make these opportunities possible), includes a front row seat, pre-show champagne reception, meet & greet and photo with Barry Manilow, and an autographed show program.
