Tip: Get in the swing at Big Band bash in Oceanside
Fans of big bands and big brunches can get their fill when the Swingtime Big Band heads to the Friedberg Jewish Community Center in Oceanside Sunday, May 23.
The 20-piece orchestra will play many of the standards and classic theme songs of the Big Band era. There also will be a tribute to clarinetist and bandleader Artie Shaw, who was born May 23, 1910 - exactly 100 years before the day of the concert.
The $45 admission fee includes the concert and a full brunch starting at noon. The band takes the stage at 1 p.m. Bring your dancing shoes: There's a big dance floor in front of the stage.
Reservations are required. Call 516-634-4151 or visit friedbergjcc.org.
