Live Entertainment!

THOSE GUYS JAZZ

This highly energy band out of Orlando provided us with up tempo music ranging from pop to jazz to swing. Each of the talented young men in this group are award winning musicians in their own right. As they played together and interacted with the crowd, the dance floor was the place to be.

Thank You to our 2017 Sponsors!
