Growing up
with the
O’Rourkes
Big band era
sounds attract
festival crowd
By Sarah Knight
Stiff Reporter
"In the mood ... Oh, boy! In the
mood ... Oh, joy!”
Strains of Glen Miller will fill the
air as the Resurrected Swing Orches
traswings to the classics at this year’s
Flatwater Festival.
Band leader Bob Start said he
became interested in the big-band
sound during his early junior high
school years.
"I just found some other kids that
liked the same kind of music and we
got started,” he said.
Start's musical background began
in fifth grade and continued through
his days at Hastings College.
As for Start’s favorite type of
music, ‘ ‘ I like anything, as long as it’s
in the big band era setting.”
The band’s repertoire concen
trates attention on the big band era
sound with classics such as “Autumn
Leaves,” “IGetaKick OutofYou,”
“Who’s Sorry Now,” “In the
Mood and “Moonlight Serenade.”
The group also performs rela
tively new artists’ music, including
Whitney Houston, Lionel Ritchie,
Kenny Rogers and Barry Manilow
but adds a swing “twist’ ’ to the cur
rent melodies.
The festival show, scheduled for
Sunday at 2:45 p.m., will feature the
entire 18-member entourage.
The size of the band ranges from
16 to 18 members but depends on the
type of program, Start said.
Many of the 18 members, as well
as Start, teach music when they’re not
Performing. Members of the band
come from all locations in the Mid
west and travel quite a distance to
assemble for performances and re
hearsals, he said.
Resurrected Swing performs
about twice a week and in places as
•ar away as the Nebraska Panhandle
jcgion, Start said. Unfortunately, the
Kansas City circuit usually stays
booked fairly solid, he added.
As for the relationship between 18
mffetent band members. Start said,
We have good members. They
d°n t have egos.”
