	"I had a great time last night at the Mary C. O'Keefe Cultural Center. Brought back some great memories." *R. Johnson*

	"Just wanted you both to know Marsha and I thoroughly enjoyed the concert Thursday night. The group we were sitting with also thought the same thing. We thought your band did a great job with all of the tunes and your “Crooner” and your soloists really got us going. We wanted so bad to get up and dance...we thought about dancing in the aisles!!!!" *James and Marsha*

	A Little History This band began as the Yesterday Band in the early 1990's. In the late 90's, Gerald O'Neil added more members and changed the name to The Today Big Band until his untimely death in the summer of 2006. Most of the members of that band continue now as The Coast Big Band. Band members include business men and women, a rocket scientist, a pilot, some retired folks, and some from the music industry. The Coast Big Band is available for wedding receptions, conventions, special events, and dances. The band has both a gospel set and a full jazz church service available. A few of the past performances includes the Southern Governor's Conference, The American Heart Association Galas, the Mississippi State Medical Association Convention, The Mrs. America Pageant and more recently the Senior Prom for the Harrison County Development Commission attended by 1200 people.
