Marquette DDA Tree Lighting- Yule Market- Holiday Parade at the Commons

By todd On December 14th, 2024

December 13, 2024- Marquette, Mi.- 41West prepared 29 Christmas tunes and played them with vigor even though it was a frosty 22, and dropping as the evening went on. Mayor Jessica Hanley joined us on stage and shared a few sentiments as Santa showed up on the scene. DDA event organizer Michael Bradford caught up with Santa and directed him to the giant switch to light the tree.

29 songs went off without a hitch other than it was so cold, “the Teens”, and Todd’s trombone iced shut, Eric’s wah wah pedal would not wah, Glenn’s trumpet kept giving him challenges, but somehow outdoorsman Luke Noordyk was able to jam on the bass and run sound with his roving tablet too!

41West sure enjoyed being with folks downtown Marquette at the Commons. 10year old VanAnder Noordyk sang his debut Christmas Time Is Here. Dan Lindholm played the drums, Eric Heidtman guitar, Glenn Bengry played trumpet, plus Nikki and Naomi sang beautifully. Our 34foot portable stage sure works well for making events be extra special. We would come to your next event. Text or call us at 9063613325. Mark Johnson took some photos and there were lots of smiles had by all.
