On July 8th, the popular Stardust Big Band will be reuniting for a one-time performance at Lakeshore Recreation, Goderich St. in Port Elgin On. The reunion event will feature more than 30 former members including vocalists Lauri Ladd, Stevie Vallance and Rebecca Binnendyk. The band will perform two sets of dance music for the evening from 8:00-10:00 p.m. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

For twenty five years (1987 – 2011), the band kept alive the ‘Golden Years’ of music, namely, the Big Band Years and for sixteen years (1995-2010) performed as the host band for the Canadian Big Band Celebration in Saugeen Shores.
Looking back, the band members feel privileged to have performed not only in a Big Band but the Stardust Big Band. The band was hired by promoters and celebrities for gigs in a variety of significant venues including The Royal York Hotel, The Palais Royal and Mel Lastman Square.
While in existence, the band was delighted to receive the top music performance awards at the Georgian Sound Big Band Festival in Thornbury and played it’s last gig at the same in 2011 to a very appreciative audience. Finally the band produced two CDs “Presenting Stardust” and “Return Engagement” which will keep the memories alive for many years to come.
