At this point in the first set (9:00 p.m.), the Minnesota
State Fire Service Memorial Pipe Band marched in, performed these selections
with the Roseville Big Band and marched out again:
1. Highland Cathedral
2. Scotland the Brave
3. Amazing Grace, dedicated
to aviation pioneer Chuck Doyle, Ray Ostlie, Bonham Cross, Phil Schacht, and
all other veterans.
We continued with a swing dance exhibition number:
16. In the Mood (short
version - omit G and H; Swing Cats; Kay, Glen P., Kari)
Then Jerry announced the winners of the raffle to sit behind the pilot during
the run-up of the aircraft engines. The band continued until 9:30, with the

17. Lady is a Tramp (Rosetones; Carl)
18. Rosie the Riveter (Kirk, Bob, GN, Rich; Mark
on the ratchet)
19. On the Sunny Side of the Street (Rosetones)
| After set one, the band took a break during the run-up of the engines of two of the CAF airplanes. One was a BT-13 Valiant, and the other was a Harvard Mark 4, the Canadian version of the AT6. (Miss Mitchell, the B-25 bomber, was at Stevens Point.) |

1. Woodchopper's Ball (Swing
Cats; GN, trumpet with plunger; Bob, Carl, Mike B., Rich, Bill
F., Keith (bass trombone), Scott, Dan D.,
Mike W.; the ten solos from Bob through Mike Wobig's two choruses matched the
number of choruses we recorded, and the dancers had practiced with our CD, so
we came out together at the end)

drums; Kay, clarinet; Rich, trombone; Keith, scat vocal; GN, trumpet)

11. It Don’t Mean a Thing if it Ain’t Got That Swing (Rosetones, Mark)
After set two: Armed Forces Medley
(arr. by Mike Bratlie) and awards, including costume contest winner
announcements. Doug Ward won the competition for the WWII vet wearing
his own uniform. Raffle drawings were done at 11:00 and simply posted
at the raffle table, thus not announced during this break. Furthermore,
there was no dance contest this time so no winners to announce. We had
originally planned to break from about 10:35 until 11:05, but since there
were no lengthy announcements, we resumed playing 10 minutes earlier than
originally planned. |
