The Lions’ Big Band Dance was held on April 17, 2010. The Damascus Lions once again provided the community with a great night of the Big Band sounds! This was another successful event for the Damascus Lions in service to the community.
We had a good turnout for only our second year at the American Legion Hall. The weather was most cooperative in providing excellent temperatures for eating, socializing, and of course, dancing. The food was superb and the crowd was dynamic.
In much anticipated form, Mr. Roland Cumberland, the band director at 91 years of age, brought us a marvelous performance. The band was magnificent! And the singers, as always were at their best! Everyone had a great evening as the time flew by!! It was the kind of night that makes you unable to wait until next year.
Our success was the result of hard work by many Damascus Lions who deserve a warm round of applause for serving the community at the Big Band event of 2010.
