Big Band Boom


What a perfect ambience for a relaxed evening. A live band next to a small lake with a few couples dancing to the classics of the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. 



Had been to the Schaumburg Town Square this Monday and enjoyed the wonderful performance by the Band known as the Big Band Boom.
I heard that they are a 17 piece group and from the way they were playing with ease, I am sure they have been around for a while. 





While scanning the audience, I noticed one gentleman enjoying the music as well as making sketches.  


On closer look I found that he was quickly making sketches of the performers. 


As the show was in progress, there was this small girl who was searching for her father. Announcements were made and soon the father was located. I liked the drum roll that was given as the father and the daughter ran to meet each other (you can see it in the video)

The crooner did a good job while shifting the song tempo with the advancement of every decade (If I am not mistaken, her name is Candace) 



It was good to see couples on the dance floor having a good time.




I always liked the box guitar (compared to the electric guitar) and was happy to see that these guys were using the box guitar


As the evening progressed, the setting sun gave the perfect golden light, which is a photographer’s delight.


Meanwhile the sketch kept progressing. 


On the whole an enjoyable evening.
