"Walking on Sunshine" (7:30 Saturday, July 12, 2008)

  50 Years of One Hit wonders: From Bobby Day (“Rockin Robin” 1958) to Nick Lachey (“What’s  

  Left of Me” — 2007 as a solo artist), the KSO Boogie Band knocks off 24 tunes and nearly three

  generations of artists with just one attributed hit. Bring the whole family to this, (even the

  ones who think they can sing).

 

Disney: The Walt Years (7:30 Saturday, August 2, 2008)

  The Walt Disney years ran from the 1930s through 1966 (when the master passed away).

  These years saw the birth of Mickey, the Mouseketeer Club, and the many animated classics and

  endearing movie musicals, — Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Fantasia; Mary Poppins to

  The Jungle Book — and a treasure trove of classic songs and tunes, which will include our own

  version of the Mousekateers, plus chorus and special guest vocalists.


“The Rhythm is Gonna Get You” (7:30 Saturday, August 30, 2008)

  In 2007 the KSO offered a Kenton-esque Latin jazz concert for a few hundred people indoors.

  As our musicians are the last of a generation who performed with and/or were mentored by

  the greats of the 50s and 60s, we figured we should share this high octane music with an

  audience of several thousand in the park. In ten years we’ll be past our prime. Besides, where

  else could you hear this kind of programming but at the KSO?

    Chuck Mangione     "Children of Sanchez" (1979)
    Lalo Schifrin          Latin Jazz Suite (1998)
    Johnny Richards     Cuban Fire Suite (1956)
    Ernesto Lecuona    "Malaguena" (1961)
