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 &amp; Orchestras&#8217; jazz ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of being a dang good time, Chameleon is committed to uplifting young musicians. In 2014 they endowed a scholarship to celebrate their origins and support students in the Purdue Jazz Band program. By joining in their efforts you too can make a lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"purdue-home-cta-strap purdue-home-cta-strap--narrow \">\n    <div class=\"section has-black-background\">\n        <div class=\"container has-black-background purdue-home-cta-strap__container\">\n            <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-strap__container--left\">\n                            <h2 class=\"purdue-home-cta-strap__subTitle\">\n                    Chameleon Jazz Scholarship            <\/h2>\n                            <p class=\"purdue-home-cta-strap__content\"><strong>Give today, and empower tomorrow\u2019s music makers.<\/strong><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-strap__container--right\">\n                                                    <a class=\"purdue-home-button purdue-home-button--black\" href=\"https:\/\/giving.purdue.edu\/west-lafayette\/student-life-folder\/chameleon-jazz-band-scholarship-endowment\/?appealcode=22124\" target=\"_self\" >DONATE<\/a>\n                            <\/div>  \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year marks a golden milestone \u2014 50 incredible years of unforgettable performances and lifelong friendships.
