SUPPORT OUR SUPPORTERS!
George West, a fan of Homestead's music program was inspired by
our selection to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. He has
generously volunteered to organize a series of swing band
performances to raise money for our trip. The first performance
was highlighted by fantastic live swing music and raised over $1000.
The second event is this Saturday. Please support our supporters
and join us for an evening of live swing music. Invite family
and friends. Dance, or just sit back and enjoy the music. All
are welcome:
Who: Joe Ferrari Band
What: Swing Band Dance
Where: Sunnyvale Elks Lodge, 375 N. Pastoria (off Maude)
When: Saturday, Feb 19th, 2011, 7:30 – 10 pm.

Some background on the band from George:
"The band is the Joe Ferrari Band (long-time local) now directed
by his daughters (who are vocalists) Judy and Geri. An excellent
Swing Band (but they play everything) 16 piece band and excellent
vocals and duets."
