Remembered Song
Featuring the River City Six Band
     Saturday, Oct. 11

     7:30 p.m. Lawrence Memorial Chapel
When was the last time you heard a song that made you stop in your tracks and go back in time? Perhaps it was "I'm in the Mood for Love," or maybe it was an old Beatles tune you heard on the radio. We'll begin our season with a concert that celebrates the songs we love to remember — the ones that trigger emotions even stronger than those we feel when we look through an old photograph album. Our special guests will be the River City Six Band, the popular vintage jazz band from DePere. Be sure to bring someone to share your memories with and enjoy this sentimental journey.
