Chameleon 50th Anniversary Concert
2025-09-13 10:30 - 12:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Slayter Center of Performing Arts, West Stadium Ave, West Lafayette, IN, 47907, United States
This year marks a golden milestone — 50 incredible years of unforgettable performances and lifelong friendships. Chameleon has shaped a legacy of sound, soul, and camaraderie. In honor of this milestone, we invite you to join us on September 13th at the Slayter Center of Performing Arts for a memorable tailgate concert, just before the Purdue vs USC home game, to get the party started right! Chameleon will be followed by one of our incredible Purdue Bands & Orchestras’ jazz ensembles.

On top of being a dang good time, the Chameleon band mates are committed to uplifting young jazz musicians at Purdue and ensuring that the next 50 years are just as fun and full of music as the last.
