Roseville Big Band CD Release Party and Dance of the Decades
Saturday, October 24, 1998, Roseville Area High School Gym

This event was a fundraiser for Roseville Arts Council and a celebration of the release of Concert in the Park, the Roseville Big Band's first CD.

Band director Glen Newton provided video producer John Rusterholz with the following script for the live broadcast of the dance. The event began at 7:00 with free dance lessons. The Roseville Big Band set up prior to the dance lessons, as at the CAF dances, then played 8-11:30. TV coverage on channel a15 in the 10-city CTV North Suburbs area ran from 7-10. The list of songs (following the script) was the same as for the Black Cat Ball the previous weekend.
