Please join us for a celebration "As American as Apple Pie". We will celebrate this patriotic holiday reminiscing the Tyler Big Band.
The Tyler Big Band has existed, in one form or another, for more than 40 years. It continues today more musically adept and up-to-date. The Band is made up of 18 members -- 5 saxophones, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 4 rhythm and a vocalist.
The TBB is grounded in the musical genre which was usual and abundant in the era in which “big bands” originated, developed, and became the dominant musical force in radio, theaters, movies, dance halls, and eventually, television. TBB’s repertoire is extensive. A wide variety of musical styles includes swing, ballads, Latin, blues, and waltzes. Most of the tunes are from that “golden age” of Big Bands, and many have been updated so as to reflect the passage of time. You can expect to hear tunes associated with Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmie Dorsey, and others.
Come and enjoy a special evening of patriotic tunes and a program full of surprises.
