For only $5 come relive the Big Band era of the 40's and 50's.  Listen to the music dance if you would like!

The General Assembly was formed in 1971 by a group of western Michigan musicians.  The General assembly is a full 17 piece orchestra with female vocalist performing the best of the old and new in music for dancing and listening.  Musicians now come from a wide area, including Reed City, Spring Lake, Grand Rapids, the Ludington area and Muskegon. Many of these musicians have performed with nationally known stars such as the Temptations, Bobby Vinton, Max Roach, Peter Nero and Henry Herman, Miller, The Dorseys, and others.  Serving up the sounds of the big bands such as Basie, Kenton, Herman, Miller, the Dorseys and others, the band has performed throughout Michigan from the Detroit area to Traverse City, while receiving requests for appearances from as far away as San Francisco. You are welcome to preview the band at their web site HERE!
