🎵 EVENT INFO & MUSIC
____________________________
Join us for THE EIGHTH AWAKENS: A LINDY HOP STAR WARS DANCE ft. Elise Roth & her Harvard Squares, plus our one of a kind Han Solo Jazz competition, where you solo jazz with a lightsaber. Traveling from a distant galaxy, Elise Roth & her Harvard Squares will bring you some killer swing tunes!
This 8-piece medium sized band with a big sound is the very same that entertains you all night at Club Drosselmeyer in December - Elise is thrilled to be able to play this music with some of her favourite Bostonians for all of you! With plenty of danceable favourites (like Paula, of course!) and several new arrangements, she can't wait to keep you swinging out all night long.
Band Lineup:
Elise Roth, vox
Jacob Hiser, piano
David Andrew Moore, drums
Max Ridley, bass
Eli Block, trumpet
Randy Pingrey, trombone
Zack Bacak, alto/clarinet
Kathy Olson, baritone sax

🗒 VENUE NOTES
____________________
Throughout the rainy season, please try to bring a clean pair of shoes to the dance, as dirt and water from outside can damage the dance floors in the spaces we're renting. Thank you in advance!
When parking, we recommend allowing extra time, as nearby parking has been heavily reduced due to the gym lot being closed.
Please DO NOT park in the Apple Cinemas, the Danehy Park lot, the auto shop lots, or along the Epic Ballroom building where it says “Enterprise” or “Fire Dept”. Your car will get towed, or locked up (Danehy Park).
