Swing Delivery Wraps Up Season 13

Swing Delivery serves up the sweet sounds of the Big Band era this Tuesday Noon, Aug. 25 at the Assemblies of God Church in Grand Rapids.  Each Tuesday this summer 200-350 music lovers have turned out at area churches to celebrate life with the area's talented musicians.  As always the concert is free; donations in excess of expenses are returned to music programs in the community and to scholarshipping a junior/senior college music major. The church benefits from the proceeds from the $6.00 church luncheon following the concert.
 
Aug. 25th  saxophones – Eileen Grosland, Tom Grosland, Sarah Mason, Colton Hass; trumpets – Larry Schroth, Mike Wourms, Chad Snider; trombones – Tom Patnaude, Gary Harris; pianist Jim Mason, bass Bryan Harris, and percussionist Mike Miller will set your feet tapping and your heart dancing as they play such favorites as "Mr. Wonderful,"Don't Get Around Much Anymore," and "Night and Day." Several have been arranged especially for the ensemble by retired teacher Larry Schroth.

Swing Delivery, a multi-talented group, plays for many events including wedding receptions, community celebrations, private parties and fundraisers.  Always generous with their time and talent, these musicians came together 15 years ago to keep the Big Band music alive.  Performing from behind pedestals similar to the Lawrence Welk band, each musician lives for and through the music.  Showmanship comes naturally to these performers and the audience is in for another happy time Tuesday noon at the Assemblies of God Church in Grand Rapids.
