when the Grand Traverse Express
(GTE) performed Monday at the Univer
citv Club in the Stuart Building, the atmo-
cohere was posn, we auuicuu; wa uiusuy
over tmny jmuaw tuuu
raising.
About 200 people sat in cramped quar
ters, or stood, to listen to the premiere
of an eight-piece band composed of former
college students from UNL and Ball State
University in Muncie, Indiana.
Band leader and musical arranger
Robert "Buck" Bucholtz said the purpose
0f the performance was to demonstrate
"the musicality and entertainment value of
the Grand Traverse Express to any persons
who might be interested in providing fi
nancial support for. the group." The five
man, three woman band, hoped to raise
about $10,000 for sound equipment, cos
tumes and publicity.
Family, friends
The invitation-only crowd was a mix of
family and friends of the band and local
night club representatives. Bucholtz said
GTE obtained the Uth floor room, of the
Stuart Building without charge in exchange
for one evening of free entertainment. The
University Club dress code required a suit
and tie.
Opening with a 30-minute set of origi
nally arranged Top 40 music, Bucholtz
told the crowd the dance set was "necessa
ry to keep the group competitive in today's
night club,' hotel and showroom market."
While he urged the audience to use. the
dance floor during the first set, the band
leader explained most of GTE's show is to
be watched and listened to.
Following a brief intermission, the
Lincoln-based band returned with an ener
getic rendition of Broadway and television
music, complete with dance and several
costume changes. Bucholtz said this type
of entertainment is aimed at an audience of
25 and over.
Making it
The 24-year-old band leader said GTE is
an off-shoot of a 10-piece band called "The
Kids" that formed in May, 1977 to
perform at a Bellaire, Michigan ski resort.
After a "very successful summer" a portion
of the band came to Lincoln to take their
musical entertainment concept on the
road. Members of the band quit their
former jobs Oct. 1 to devote themselves
entirely to "making it."
Although the band's members are rela
tively young (ages ranging from 20-25)
Bucholtz said all are successful and compe
tent musicians. Some even hold music de
grees. Lead vocalist Robert Jenkins added
that the band thinks of themselves as "pri
marily vocal" and has "tried to attain the
best vocal sound through a mix of male
and female voices." Jenkins said although
GTE hasn't yet used any original material
on stage, every member is capable of com
posing. Goals for GTE include getting on a cir
cuit that would enable them to play in
large hotels throughout the nation.
Ultimately, GTE would like to be part of
the "glitter and flash" of Las Vegas. "We
hope to be playing Vegas in 10 months to a
year," Bucholtz said.
Currently, The Grand Traverse Express
has bookings for Hutchinson, Kansas, Hol
iday Inn and will return in January to the
Bellaire, Michigan ski resort they played at
this summer.
