Ontario/Chaffey Community Show Band: Swinging with the Showband
January 16, 2017 @ 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
FreeThe Ontario Chaffey Community Show Band is proud to present “Swinging With the Show Band” on Monday, January 16, 2017 at historic Gardiner Spring Auditorium located on the campus of Chaffey High School, 1245 N. Euclid Ave. Ontario. Early concert goers are invited to come at 7:00 p.m. and enjoy complimentary cookies, Starbucks coffee, and pre-concert entertainment provided by The Woodwind Celebration. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and is FREE to the public.
The performance is highlighted by the outstanding musicians of the Show Band who will perform a repertoire of exciting music from the Swing Era. The concert also features the sounds of the talented vocal trio The Harmony Sisters comprised of Beverly Crowe, Stacey Rosen-Sturgis, and Show Band Concertmaster Chris McAleer. The group has been singing together since 2002. They will perform three tunes arranged by former Show Band Assistant Director Bill Blanchard. Bill was an excellent arranger of 40’s-style Big Band music, a perfect fit for The Harmony Sisters, who have been so successful in recreating the exciting sounds of the Andrew Sisters and other post World War II vocal groups. Their selections include Gershwin’s timeless “I Got Rhythm,” “Dream,” and “Red Sails in the Sunset.”
