The Roseville Big Band played dinner and dance music for the guests at the
St. Paul Children's Hospital Association Fifty-fourth Annual Ball, November
22, 2003, in the Minnesota Room of the Radisson Riverfront in St. Paul.
The screen at the left showed the band playing. Another
screen on the right showed the same picture. During part of the evening,
the screen showed videos of children who had been patients of Children's
Hospital.
Glen Peterson played
a tenor sax solo on "Flip, Flop, and Fly." The podium in the middle
of the saxophone section was used later in the evening for speeches. However,
it made it difficult for the other end of the sax section (Kay
Foster and Bill Frank, alto saxes,
and Bill Pearson, baritone sax) to
hear Glen and the rhythm section.
Glen Newton
cued the band as he played trumpet on "Funky Cha Cha." Tenor saxophonist
Dan Desmonds looked up as he waited
for his cue to solo.
Karen
Dunn and Diane Dolinar added
the Latin percussion touch to "Tico- Tico," standing in front
of the screen.
Dinner guests helped us fill out the Latin
percussion section on "Frenesi."
