Swingin’ Under The Stars

Return to the sounds of yesteryear on May 30, 2010, with Swingin’ Under the Stars, featuring the Hickory Jazz Orchestra.  Swingin’ Under the Stars is Hickory’s Memorial Tribute to the Big Band Era.  This popular event is held on the Flag Court of Union Square in Downtown Hickory in celebration of Memorial Day.

Brought to you by the Hickory Jazz Orchestra, the festivities will begin at 6:30 pm with the Northview Middle School Jazz Band.  Then from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, the Hickory Jazz Orchestra will perform “big band” music for your listening and dancing enjoyment.
