NOV 21, 2008

We had the pleasure of having a contingent of dance studio instructors and students are the dinner dance we played for on NOV 21, 2008. They were fabulous and the band members had to really work hard to stay focused on the music and not get lulled into watching the "Dancing With The Stars" caliber dancing. We got a standing ovation at the end of the night and look forward to seeing our newest fans back again at our next public appearance.

 
OCT 28, 2008

We had the privelege of playing for another great private event on October 28, 2008 at the Carefree Resort Opera House. What a great venue and such an appreciative audience. Thanks to the host organization, Classic Residence by Hyatt, and the staff of the Carefree Resort, for making this a very special evening.

 
AUG 23, 2008

We were especially pleased to have been selected as the featured entertainment for a large scale fund raiser for a national charity recently.  This was a M*A*S*H theme event and the band dressed in military style uniforms to honor our military past and present and compliment the theme of the event.  Those uniforms recreated the look of Glenn Miller's fabulous Army Air Force Band of the 1940's.  Photos and video of that event will be posted to this website in the near future.
