Swing Fever

Swing Fever heats up the Renaissance Seattle Hotel on May 3rd, and you're invited!

This exciting event includes a live and silent auction, banquet, and of course, a swing dance! Be entertained by small musical ensembles and then dance the night away with the smooth sounds of our own swing band, Purple Passion.

Our goal is to raise money to help fund the next 10 years of the Rainbow City Band. Auction proceeds help:

Add funds to our scholarship program
Defray the band's operating expenses
Purchase much-needed instruments.

As our guest, you'll sample an array of ensemble entertainment from various RCB members while bidding on silent auction items, and then feast on the succulent offerings of Chef Erick Gonzalez of the Renaissance Seattle Hotel. This year, we'll welcome back RCB's friend and long time supporter Brian Burgoyne as the RCB auctioneer extraordinaire! We've received some generous donations and plan to see some hot wallets. Bid on live auction items such as:

A luxury weekend getaway in Portland including transportation, accommodations, and a night out on the town
A Nintendo Wii packed with extras
A week in a condominium on the Big Island of Hawaii
Original artwork by Seattle artist John Page
A 7-day Mexico or Carribean cruise for two

The evening will really heat up when Purple Passion takes the stage and you take to the dance floor for our swing dance. The night doesn't have to end, as DJ Doug Whaley will keep it spinning and takes your dedications during the popular "bid-a-song" breaks.

Reserve your spot on the dance floor now!
Ticket sales for the dinner and auction are now closed, but you can still enjoy dancing and music into the night. Reserve your spot on the dance floor by purchasing a ticket online at BrownPaperTickets. Or if you prefer, contact a Rainbow City Band member or call (866) 841-9139 x2126.

This is the event to attend this spring. See you there!
