Interspersed among familiar big-band arrangements, such as “In the Mood,” “Take The A Train,” and “Stomping at the Savoy,” will be small combos playing everything from Dixieland to modern jazz. This concert marks a new aspect for the band, which is best known for its First- Thursday-of-the-Month dances at the Yachats Commons. Although there will be some space for people who want to dance, the concert’s main emphasis will be on perform- ance of landmark pieces played in the swinging styles of the original artists and bands. Under the direction of Lou Invernon, the band is com- posed of 14 amateur and pro- fessional musicians from the central Oregon coast and Eugene area. Instrumentation includes saxes, clarinets, flutes, piano, string bass, drums, trumpets and trombones.

KCST’s ‘Our Town’ broadcast set for today KCST's “Our Town” this month will feature conversa- tions about children’s theater, disaster planning, Relay for Life and the Sundance Film Festival. It airs on KCST, FM 106.9, today, Feb. 4, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. City Lights Cinemas owner Michael Falter returned from Park City, Utah, last week where he spent time participat- ing in the first half of the Sundance Film Festival. Falter will talk about what he observed. This year’s American Cancer Society Relay for Life will be a 12-hour event instead of a 24-hour marathon at Miller Park. It will begin at noon Saturday, Aug. 8, and run through midnight. This year’s Relay for Life co-chairs, Nancy Bosket and Nicole Hundley, say the popu- lar and moving luminaria will still remain lit all night for those who enjoy late-night walking. Bosket and Hundley will talk about how people can get involved and continue to make this one of the most successful relays in Oregon. Melanie Heard is hoping to find a new nest for members of her Children’s Repertory of Oregon Workshop (CROW). CROW has been providing classes, lessons and regular children’s theater presentations in Florence for nearly three years. Now Heard and her troupe are working on raising money for a permanent home for CROW. It would serve as a base of operations for rehearsals and storage, but also as a place where they could offer arts education to kids in the com- munity. Wrapping up the conversa- tion today will be Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue Chief Jim Langborg and disaster planning consultant Stacy Burr. Burr was recently contracted to help the West Lane Emergency Operations Group update its area disaster plan. Burr will work closely with area agencies over the next several months. Our Town is sponsored by Andy Baber of Edward Jones Investments; Holloway and Associates CPA’s; the Archives Photo Restoration Specialists, and PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center. That’s 30 minutes earlier than usual. The time has been moved up because of Oregon Duck Basketball. Portions of KCST’s Our Town also air on Community Television, channel 191, with coverage provided by Campbell Productions.
