What is the Maynard Community Dance Band?
The Maynard Community Dance Band is a smaller group of musicians who also play in the concert band. This group was formed to give our members an opportunity to play big band and classic dance band music.
Some of our songs include "Stardust," "Zoot Suit Riot," "In The Mood," and "Woodchopper's Ball." For the 2008 summer concert season we performed some new songs including "When You Wish Upon a Star", "Spanish Eyes," and "Teddy Bears' Swingin' Picnic." These new songs are sure to become new favorites.
Where has the Maynard Community
Dance Band performed?
The Maynard Community Dance Band has played at a variety
of concert locations. every summer the dance band plays 2 dance band only
concerts at Memorial Park Maynard, MA.
In the past 2 years we have played 2 concerts sponsored by the Maynard
Public Library: one for the Roosevelt School Reunion held at the Maynard
Public Library and one at the Knights of Columbus Hall.
Our most recent concert was a fund-raising concert which
was held at the Tewksbury-Wilmington Elks in Tewksbury. Our concert at
the Acme Theater in Maynard, "Swing into the Holidays," combined
our traditional dance band music with holiday selections.
We have also played at the Maynard Farmer's Market, class reunions, and
private parties.
