Band director Jim: Ryan instituted. the -Big Band Dance in 1975 as a fund raiser for the Band Parents. It ‘still serves that function today, raising money to pay for travel,. uniforms, music festival entry. fees and workshops. The Big Band. began with a group of school band directors from throughout the region and a few students. Band member and Caledonia music teacher - Geoff Parr says the band is now more closely associated with the Terrace Community Band, hav- ing only one member from Prince Rupert and just a few ‘from Kitimat. Geoff himself is one of the few original members of the band - from 1975. He was'a Grade 10 band student playing saxophone "at the time. Other original mem- bers were Peter Witherley, Jack Wreggitt, Jim Ryan, and Jim Ryan Jr., a professional bass guitar player who has recently returned to Terrace. The music for this year’s Big "Band Dance -is almost the same as the original dance 17 years ago, Geoff says Jim added a few new pieces five years ago, but ‘there is nothing more recent than -1982. More current pieces: are not suitable for the group. Geoff explains that putting « on. . the Big Band Dance is an awful ‘lot of work, but well worth the effort. With a number of. new . members in this year’s band, they started rehearsals. three -months ago and have been prac- _tising every Wednesday. evening © since. The booking was done months ago and the advertising organized at least three months in advance as well. ‘Tickets are still available at | Sight & Sound for the Big Band Dance. Price per person is $30. Cocktails at 7, buffet dinner at 8, and dancing from 9 until one o’clock in the morning. Musicians invited to be ‘discovered’ Local musicians looking for _ that big break are being invited to submit demo tapes to a major music conference to be held in Vapicouver.
