We were also entertained by the Troubadours

Meet some new friends who joined us July 12th at the San Pedro Elks
Music is provided all over the greater Los Angeles area by the
members of the Street Corner Symphony. The Street Corner Symphony Band
is composed of four talented musicians brought together by the late
renowned musical director, Toti Fuentes and their love for music. The
musical talents of Eddie, Freddie & Resty were individually honed back
in the Philippines and in USA performing separately with their
respective bands and Bess, altho’ was never in a band, did back-up
vocals on stage & movie soundtracks and recorded commercial jingles.
Combining jazz, standards, rock n’ roll, big band sound, country music,
rhythm & blues and disco, they became a favorite with the ballroom dance
groups and the Elks Lodge circle. They also are contracted to provide
music for private functions such as birthday parties, weddings,
anniversaries, associations and corporate functions.
When the band takes control of the stage they have the unique
distinction of knowing how to combine the elements to provide their
clientele the kind of music they want to dance and listen to. They have
created a renewed interest in the dance and easy listening music of past
eras.
They were commissioned to perform at the Angela Lansbury Achievement
Award and have been performing at the annual Queen’s Ball, commemorating
the birthday of the Queen of England, sponsored by the British Council.

Time to dance at the San Pedro Elks Lodge

The dancers come from all over to dance to the Street Corner Symphony

Music from a waltz to YMCA


Bess leads the parade taking requests and announcing the songs

A little foxtrot perhaps??

Time for a waltz

The guys generate fantastic sounds from behind all of their instruments

"Sure... we can do that!!"

And a one and a two...

"OK, ready for some YMCA?

The crowd goes wild!

Tickle those keyboards



Even the kids like the music

Margie celebrated her birthday this evening

Dancers from the Toppers Dance Club of Long Beach... And fellow Elks

The music keeps coming


A super evening and dancing and fun with the Street Corner Symphony
