🚨 BAND UPDATE: The Swingin’ BopCats Big Band Are NOT Performing Tonight ( The St. Joe’s Festival is still ON! 5-10 PM) 🚨
Due to the Code Red Air Quality Alert caused by the Canadian wildfire smoke, the Swingin’ BopCats Big Band will unfortunately not be performing at the MSHJ Parish Festival tonight (Thursday, 7/16).
Performing a high-energy, outdoor big band show requires a lot of lung power, and given the very poor air quality and the age of our band members, we have to prioritize their health and safety tonight. We are so disappointed to not being able to provide the music!
🎡 HOWEVER, the MSHJ Parish Festival is still happening! 🍔
Please still head on down to Coraopolis tonight to support the parish! They still have:
Awesome Food Booths 🍟
Raffles & Games 🎟️
Rummage Sale & More! 🛍️
Go grab some delicious festival food, play some games, and support a great community event. We’ll miss you all tonight and can’t wait to play for you at our next gig! 🎷🥁
