Welcome
to the home of the Kingwood Big Band!
Organized
in the fall of 2004, the Kingwood Big
Band is a collection of adult musicians sponsored
by Kingwood College in Kingwood,
Texas. Band members include students, engineers,
medical professionals, music educators, and businessmen
drawn together by a mutual love of classic
big band jazz.
Boasting
a large repertoire of music made famous
by such Big Band era luminaries as Duke Ellington,
Harry James, Stan Kenton, Tommy Dorsey, and
others, the Kingwood Big Band is gaining regional
acclaim for exciting performances and dances.
Houston
Mayor Bill White and the members of the
Houston City Council recently honored the Kingwood
Big Band with a declaration designating October
27, 2006 as Kingwood Big Band Day.
