BIG BAND BENEFIT DANCE

Saturday, July 27th, 2024 at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Sweet Grass County American Legion (Upstairs)

Featuring the Hanger Band.

In the fall of 2020, several Covid weary musicians started meeting every other
Monday evening in an airplane hangar in Columbus. Why a hangar? They could
socially distance. The airplane was pushed out of the hangar and chairs and
stands set up. The few dedicated musicians grew in number as folks traveled from
Hardin, Wyoming, Red Lodge, Big Timber, etc. The 17-piece Hangar Band was
official. After several months of practicing, there arose the natural inclination to
play this fun dance music for someone other than themselves. They play big band
music from many genres that include new recent jazz arrangements and ranging
back to original big band tunes from the 1930’s.

These dedicated musicians are happy to take time away from their busy summer
schedules volunteering to come, play and support the local Big Timber arts.
