Rhythm Ramblers are ‘Lovin’ and Swingin’’
Posted
Last September, it was unclear whether the Rhythm Ramblers, Sun City’s original big band and first chartered club, would continue into its 59th year.
Then a new board took over.
Four months later, the club boasts 71 members and has fielded what may be its best performing group to date.
Dancers and listeners can judge for themselves Tuesday, Feb. 7, at Sundial Auditorium as the band presents its fourth First Tuesday Dance and Concert of the season, titled “Lovin’ and Swingin’.”
Doors open at 2 p.m. Music is 2:30-4:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for RCSC cardholders and $7 for escorted guests. Members of the Rhythm Ramblers Club get in free. RCSC cardholders may join the club at the door; annual dues are $10.
Sundial Auditorium will take on a nightclub atmosphere (smoke-free), with subdued lighting, decorated tables and room for dancing. Beverages and snacks may be brought in; cups and ice will be provided. Tables may be reserved by contacting Lynn Altherr at laltherr@aol.com.
The Rhythm Ramblers is an 18-piece jazz big band with male and female singers in the tradition of the great American dance bands of the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. Started by Del Webb in 1963 to help welcome newcomers to Sun City, the Rhythm Ramblers became RCSC’s first chartered club in 1968. Music direction is currently provided by Sun City resident Bryan Altherr.
