‘They Remember!’
Tony Orlando Rocks Higher Degree Crowd

> From the moment he took the Rosen Centre’s Grand Ballroom stage on Saturday night, and swung right off the top into his signature hit “Tie A Yellow Ribbon,” Tony Orlando had the crowd at the Higher Degree event cheering, singing along and even dancing in the aisles.

Orlando paused in the middle of that opening song and the crowd sang the next line on its own. “They remember!”, exclaimed Orlando, who told the crowd that they were going to have a great time.

He was as good as his word, performing all his ’70s hits, including “He Don’t Love You,” “Candida,” “Knock Three Times” and more--in a performance that left 4,000-plus cheering on their feet.

Everyone Wins at 25 Club Talent Show

A variety of acts “competed” for top honors in Monday’s 25 Club event in the Rosen Centre’s Grand Ballroom. John Charles served as the evening’s emcee and sang as well.

“G-Force” showed precision acrobatics



Jim Teter combined juggling with comedy, including a moment where he knocked a cigarette from Frank Fregulia’s mouth while juggling bottles.

“Christopher” (top) performed YMCA and other Village People selections with his unique quadri-dummy prop; The Sweeney Family sang songs and provided “down-home” humor. In the end, all four acts were declared “winners” by acclamation.
