A Letter From The Glass City Swing Band


Dear GCSB supporters,

Our Third Annual Spring Swing: Pittsburgh Jazz Greats concert was well received by everyone who attended. GCSB would like to thank everyone who was involved in making that event happen! If you did not have a chance to see the concert there are a handful of songs from this concert posted on our YouTube page.

Just one note about the Sinatra CDs before moving on to our upcoming Friday Night Swing Dance. The Sinatra concert CDs have been shipped from the distributor and will be shipped out to you as soon as we get them in hand. I do apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have your continued support for future concerts.

This month's Friday Night Swing is happening May 18. If you've not attended one yet, think about making this one your first! If you don't dance it's just as enjoyable to listen to the music. There are plenty of tables available. Just a reminder, Friday Night Swing happens every 3rd Friday of the month (except for September 14). You can always check GCSB's Facebook page and Website for the current dance information. All dance are at the Jeannette American Legion (109 S. 5th Street in Jeannette). 

The dance starts at 7:30 PM. $10 donation at the door. Beginner dance lesson at 6:30 PM.

                                      


If you're not connected with us on Facebook, then you did not catch GCSB's big announcement for our November 2nd concert. Glass City Swing Band is proud to announce Battle of the Sinatras. This is a singing contest open to all high school students in Westmoreland County. Entry applications must be received by Saturday, September 15, 2018. To find out more about the rules and application process, visit our event page for Battle of the Sinatras.

Many thanks to Hayden's Pharmacy for sponsoring this event!

Information about S.C.A.T.

What is Swingin' With Creative Arts Therapies (S.C.A.T.)

S.C.A.T.  is a collaborative expressive arts program conceptualized by members of the Glass City Swing Band for individuals with special needs including physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities. This program is unique in that it will introduce each participant to a special place in time: The Swing Era.

Participants will be introduced to the various instruments of the band in a very short opening session. From here, they will have the opportunity to express their interpretations of swing music in 3 separate workshops (music, art and dance/movement) led by certified creative arts professionals.

Participants will have the opportunity to share their experience with the Glass City Swing Band in a very special performance at the end of the program.

This program is free of charge to all participants.

For more info on S.C.A.T., check out our special event page on our website.
