The Preville Big Band At Saint-Lambert En Fête

The retro theme at Saint-Lambert en Fête continued into Thursday at the event this year.  Though, with the Preville Big Band, the music went a bit further back than the 1980's.  It was a little hot with the noon sun beating down on the concrete, but the folks who found shade in the park just on the other side of the street were swinging away to the golden era tunes that were being belted out on stage.  I managed to see the band twice last year and it was a pleasure to see them again as I love listening to those old big band songs.  The first photograph was taken at f/5.6, 1/200sec, ISO 400 at 200mm.  Here are a few more photographs that I took of their performance.

The band has been in existence for over 40 years and I wish I had as much energy now, as the members of the band.  To find out more about the Preville Big Band and their music, don't forget to visit their Facebook Page.
