Anyone who remembers the Wimberley Valley Big Band’s Mardi Gras Dance in 2020 will soon be dusting off his or her dancing shoes when they hear the news about the Moonlight Swing Dance happening on March 24.
This fund-raiser for the WVBB, led by Doug Gillory, will start at 7 p.m. and end at p.m., and will be held in the Pavilion Room on the ground floor of the Messina Inn. Pat Gillory, who plays keyboard, said, “The band will open with ‘Moonlight Serenade’” The long playlist will include other “old favorites” such as “In the Mood” and “string of pearls”. Listing some other selections, she added, “and a little more up-to-date tunes will include ‘Yesterday’, ‘The Moon River Waltz’, and ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’. Of course, there will be a couple of classic rock tunes and Latin numbers, as well as waltzes. This should be a great night of music.”
Another feature of this special evening will be a silent auction. A few of the items to be sold will be two golf packages at local golf clubs, a dinner certificate for Trattoria Lisina, a “combo package” from Hays City Store, an overnight stay at Prow’d House B&B in Wimberley, and from Mad Roosters, a beautiful handmade quilt and quilt stand.
