Big Band Sounds marks 20 years

Red Raville’s “Big Band Sounds” recently celebrated their 20th anniversary with a party at Lewis’ Restaurant in Sherburne. Family members and friends enjoyed a hour of music followed by a great buffet and mementos given to the musicians. Also on hand were some former members who returned to “sit in” with the band.



Pictured above are: Saxes Keven Simmons, Chris Luttinger, Bill Pomares, Michele Pomares (just the hand), Bob Arnell, Red Raville, keyboard, Jeremy Ukena, bass, Jeff Corigliano, drums. Back row): trombone Becky Sabin, trumpets, Randy Larkin, Doug Keith, Gary Solomon. Not shown: trombones Henry Carpenter and Lee Wilhelm and vocalist, Becky Keefe Fitzsimmons. “Big Band Sounds” will be performing, Saturday, July 5 at the Eldridge Park in Elmira where they play for dancing and listening from 6 to 9 p.m., followed by fireworks. The public is invited and it is hoped many old fans and friends will be on hand.
