This bulletin board from 1997 is typical of the signs that have welcomed thousands of concertgoers and dancers to Roseville Big Band performances over the decades. It also forms part of the design of the tray card for the Roseville Big Band's recording, Concert in the Park. Here are some images from Central Park concerts through the years. |

The Roseville Big Band and other entertainers perform in the uniquely-shaped band shell on the shore of Lake Bennett in Roseville's Central Park. In this picture, guest tenor saxophonist A. J. Mundahl solos on the Roseville Big Band's July 31, 2007, concert, while volunteers from CTV 15 broadcast the concert live on television channel 15 in Roseville and surrounding areas. Click here for a picture of the band shell in 1984. On June 7, 2009, the band shell was renamed the Frank Rog Amphitheatre in honor of long-time Parks and Recreation director Frank Rog. A new rose logo - on both the cement and the wall of the shell - was part of the amphitheatre upgrade. |
