Lebanon Big Swing Band To Perform

The 16-member Lebanon Big Swing Band will perform at Derry Presbyterian Church, 248 E. Derry Road, Hershey, at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25. The concert will take place in the church sanctuary.

The concert is part of the church's 2022 Arts Alive cultural series. A freewill offering will be received. Handicapped-accessible parking and an elevator are available. Face masks for audience members are optional.

The Lebanon Big Swing Band was organized in 1990 by Edgar Felty, Lee Moyer, and Karl Wolf Jr. - members of Local 401-750 of the American Federation of Musicians in Lebanon - to provide an opportunity for area musicians to present music of the big band era. The band's repertoire includes music in the style of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Harry James, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington.

The Lebanon Big Swing Band has played at Derry Church twice before. It performs across central Pennsylvania throughout the year under the direction of trombonist and band leader Steve Leibig. The ensemble includes vocalist Lauren Schuyler as well as two original members of the band: Lee Moyer and Warren Daugherty.

Derry Presbyterian Church is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Worship services are held on Sundays at 8 and 10:30 a.m. For more information, call the church office at 717-533-9667 or visit http://www.derrypres.org.
