Special Thanks to...
First and foremost, a big thank you to all our enthusiastic audience members over the years. Without you, a band is nothing but a bunch of musicians rehearsing. While that can be an exciting experience in and of itself, it's no substitute for sharing our love of music, seeing the smiles and the tapping toes and seeing kids eyes light up when they hear a familiar tune.
- Jim Buchanan, Co-founder, Musical Director Emeritus
- Susan Dillon, Co-founder, for her vision of bringing community music to the Maplewood area and making it happen
- Ben Williams, Swing Town Musical Director, the driving force behind our community big band and their commitment to bringing music to the community
