The Athens Theatre Company Presents: The Great American Big Band

  • Athens Theatre 124 North Florida Avenue DeLand, FL, 32720 United States (map)

On Saturday, June 21 at 7:30 p.m., The Great American Big Band returns to the Athens stage with their highly anticipated Patriotic Salute. Under the direction of conductor Bennett Harmon, this 19-piece orchestra delivers a dazzling lineup of big band favorites, patriotic classics, and musical tributes to all branches of the U.S. military. From the toe-tapping rhythms of “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” to the stirring notes of “Stars and Stripes Forever,” this concert is a heartfelt celebration of American pride, resilience, and unity.

Dressed in vintage gowns and sparkling red, white, and blue, the ensemble doesn’t just play the music—they bring it to life with pride and pageantry, evoking an era when swing lifted spirits, patriotism filled the air, and communities came together through song.

Tickets are available at AthensDeLand.com or by calling the box office at 386-736-1500. Whether you're craving waves of nostalgia or a patriotic pick-me-up, the Athens Theatre has your summer soundtrack covered.
