DANCE TO THE BIG BANDS!!

Edmonton's Trocadero Ballroom was the place to be in the 40's and 50's! To pay tribute to the musicians who performed in the glory years of Big Band, the city's music veterans of the past and present have joined together to honour the memory of the big band era!

Join in the celebration of the Big Band Ballrooms of yesteryear, and dance ONE MORE TIME to the music of Glenn Miller, Count Basie, The Duke, and many others!

The 18-piece Trocadero Orchestra has been playing the music from the big band era and ballroom dance music for over 30 years now. The band strives to keep the tradition of big band ballroom music alive. The Troc does a variety of arrangements, such as Glenn Miller-style swing, Viennese waltz music, Latin tunes, salsas, polkas and all the rest of the music that go along with the Big Band ballroom dance --- the same way the sounds were enjoyed in the 1950's at Edmonton's original downtown Trocadero Ballroom. The Trocadero band has performed for various events, such as City Hall's Swing N Skate, and several private functions and weddings. The orchestra has been featured regularly at the Chamber of Commerce's annual banquet, and has performed live for CKUA's New Years' Eve celebrations. Nothing beats the sound of live music!
