Unforgettable Big Band

Unforgettable Big Band delivers versatility. Planning a swing dance, we've got you covered. Traditional ballroom, we can do that. Looking for a specialty show, or tribute, we can do that too. We specialize in the music of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and other crooners of the Rat Pack, as well as Doris Day, and other legendary performers.

Celebrating more than 20 years of delighting audiences throughout the Susquehanna Valley region of the United States, Unforgettable Big Band pays tribute to great artists such as Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw who represent the glory days of swing. We also perform new big band literature and arrangements from Gordon Goodwin, the Brian Setzer Orchestra, and even Carlos Santana, Queen, and Bruno Mars. Our vocalists honor the great singers of the big band era, from Peggy Lee to Doris Day, and from Cab Calloway to Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin and more.

Unforgettable Big Band is a community big band based in York, Pennsylvania that draws some of the most talented musicians from all across the region who are interested in maintaining the vitality of music from the Big Band era. The band has performed throughout the region, and become one of the area's best known and most liked bands. As a community band, service is a part of our mission. It is our desire to give back to the generations that have paved the way before us. The band is recipient of two Central Pennsylvania Music Awards, presented by the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame, and was named a finalist in 2021 for best local band in the York Daily Record Best of the Best contest.

The band is available for parties, receptions, special events and corporate functions, in addition to traditional dance and concert engagements. We endeavor to accommodate worthy fund raising efforts, as well. We have appeared throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, in Hoboken, NJ celebrating the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra, in Reinerton, PA celebrating the 100th birthday of Les Brown, at the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC, and in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. Currently organized as a non-profit corporation, Unforgettable Big Band is dedicated to continuing the American big band tradition.

Unforgettable Big Band can provide sound and lighting to make your event a success. Talk to us about your specific needs, and if we can handle it, we will, or we will give you some suggestions on who can provide everything we can't.

Generally we require a stage width of at least 25-30 feet, and a depth of 20 feet. We can make arrangements for unusual stage sizes and sets, and we have risers to facilitate stage extensions, or setup at floor level.

We require two clean 110 volt circuits, and will pull less than 20 amps under most conditions. Larger sound and lighting venue requirements may increase this.
