Weekend Night Dances for June
The Velvetones Ballroom Dance Orchestra, Leisure World’s professional band, is back in action on June 19. It plays regularly on the first and third Sunday evenings in Clubhouse 4 featuring Big Band swing and jazz standards, music for dreaming and dancing.
No. 1 Abilene, Leisure World’s country rock band, is back on July 7 by popular demand. Going strong for nearly 20 years Abilene opened last year’s Amphitheater season with a rockabilly show that drew nearly 2,000 fans.
Terry Otte leads Abilene and shares singing duties with Tina Schaffer, guitarist Rod Anderson, guitar Synthesizer and pianist Jim Long, bassist Doug Decker and drummer Jim Greer, round out the group. They will be rocking Clubhouse 2 at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 25. Doors open at 5:30.
• Masks are no longer required regardless of vaccination status but are strongly recommended.
• No table saving. You may bring your own snacks.
• Attendees must be out of the clubhouse no later than 10 p.m. to permit adequate time for the custodian to tear down and arrange the setup for the following day (except New Year’s Eve). • No announcements are permitted from the stage, except by the bands.
• Clubhouse lighting and audio-visual equipment can only be adjusted by the custodian according to the instructions they have been given.
• Be sure to sign in, either as a resident or guest, in the proper spot. This is the only way GRF can judge the popularity of your favorite bands.
