Greenville Municipal Jazz Band to Present A Celebration of Big Bands
Concerts in the park will resume this Sunday, August 25 at 7pm in the
Marling Band Shell in the beautiful Greenville City Park. The
concerts are free and open to the public.
This week, the Greenville Municipal Jazz Band will take the stage to
present music that celebrates the wonderful era of dance bands or big
bands. National acts such as the Dorsey Brothers, Les Brown,
Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman and of course the Glenn Miller Orchestra and
others would tour the United States bringing music of the era to folks
so they could dance and enjoy the moment. This gave rise to many
regional bands in our area that did the same in smaller clubs and
venues. Our show Sunday will pay particular attention to the
music of the great Glenn Miller Orchestra.
Joining the band on stage will be Chelsea Whirledge. Chelsea is
the Greenville High School Choral Director. Chelsea is a yearly
favorite with our crowd and will sing with the band the George Gershwin
hit Summertime, Shallow from A Star is Born, Save the Last Dance for Me
and the Glenn Miller favorite At Last. The GMJB will also perform
hits form the Big Band Era such as Sing, Sing, Sing, Pennsylvania
65000, A String of Pearls, Tuxedo Junction, In the Mood and many
others.
Please make plans to join the Greenville Municipal Jazz Band with
Chelsea Whirledge this Sunday, August 25 at the Marling Band Shell in
the beautiful Greenville City Park. The concert will begin at
7pm. Plenty of park bench seating is available and you are
welcome to bring your own lawn chair or blanket to relax and enjoy our
show.
