Songs in red are available on the Roseville Big Band Concert in the Park (+8) CD. As usual, we were prepared to take requests. Here's a 360-degree video of the first 2 hours and 45 minutes of the dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaDxDkWqttg Before the dance Cindy and Terry Gardner, representing TC Swing, gave free swing dance lessons to around 200 dancers. The lessons finished at 7:45, followed by dance music until the band was ready for a sound check. At 7:50, Stan Turner, KLBB radio host, introduced the dance and welcomed the dancers. Set One (8:00-8:45): |
At this point, while the band takes a break, Stan Turner and wing leader Amy Lauria led the ceremonies to honor all veterans and active military personnel, and a CAF pilot ran up the B25 engines. |
