In classic VIA style, the Valley Industry Association, Santa Clarita’s leading business-to-business organization, presents its annual gala on Friday, Oct. 26, 2018 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia with a new theme: The VIA Monster BASH Ball.

Simply stated, BASH has become Santa Clarita’s who’s-who premier business event and this year will be no exception. Theme-inspired décor, chef-inspired dining, and live entertainment and dancing make this signature event a must-attend. Adding a touch of Halloween thriller, The Urban Renewal Project, a Los Angeles-based band that uses instruments of a bygone era to create a signature sound that blurs the boundaries between soul, jazz, and hip-hop will perform. The group features a big band horn section, singer and rapper who perform upbeat originals and fresh interpretations of everything from jazz standards to recent hits. They’ve toured from New York’s Rockwood Music Hall to the San Jose Jazz Summerfest, from South by Southwest Music Festival to the Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival in Indonesia, and concert venues in between. This marks the band’s first performance in Santa Clarita. Adding a touch of mystique, costumes are encouraged or black tie optional.

The VIA BASH benefits the VIA Education Foundation with special emphasis on Connecting to Success, which delivers a high impact workforce preparation program for students. Each year, junior class students from all schools within the William S. Hart Union High School District benefit from time spent with working professionals as they prepare to interview for their first job or ready themselves for college applications the following year. They are also able to grasp real-world issues that may challenge their ethics, and receive guidance on how to handle money.
