The Houma-Terrebonne Community Band is pleased to announce its annual Big Band Bash. It will be held at the Houma Municipal Auditorium on Saturday, October 13th, 2007, from 8:00pm until midnight. The Houma-Terrebonne Community Stage Band will provide its awesome “big band sound” for your dancing and listening pleasure. Dance contests will award prizes for the best couple in waltz, cha-cha, and jitterbug. Door prizes graciously donated by local supporters will be part of the fun.

Big band music will highlight your evening. The classic selections from smooth waltzes and ballads, lively cha-chas and jazz, and driving rock and Latin of this semi-formal event is calculated to appeal to all ages.

Dance lessons by local dance studios will be offered before the start of the Big Band Bash and during the Big Band Bash.

The community has steadily enjoyed the Big Band Bash since the first one held on November 14^th, 1986. It was the first major fund-raiser of the Houma-Terrebonne Community Band since its inception in March of 1984. The Municipal Auditorium was filled to capacity, with about 435 tickets sold. The Stage Band has gradually added more modern music to its big band base in order to appeal to a wider audience. There is something for everyone.

Advance tickets are $10 per person, and $12.50 at the door.  Music lovers may bring their own party foods and drinks.  Cups, ice, and soft drinks will be available for purchase.
