The Heroes return to Hoyt Park
The Heroes, a seven-piece band that promises to play a little something for everyone to enjoy, will be back this year to shake Hoyt Park with a high energy performance on Aug. 11 as part of the Scripps Ranch Symphony in the Park free summer concert series.
The band features the talents of two experienced female singers backed by a guitarist, keyboardist, bassist, drummer and saxophonist, all of whom sing as well. The line-up also offers flute, sax and various percussion including congas.
The extensive song list includes everything from Big Band swing and standards from the ’30s and ’40s to today’s current hits, with oldies, Motown, classic rock, funk, ’70s disco/dance, and rock and roll mixed in.
The Heroes are an annual crowd favorite at the Scripps Ranch Symphony in the Park summer concert series, getting the audience out of their chairs and into dance mode.
Tommy Boyd is the drummer and manager for the popular group, and is also on the board of the Symphony in the Park organization. Boyd is instrumental in selecting and booking each of the bands for the summer series.
This concert will be sponsored by Collin’s Family Jewelers.
There will be face-painting for children, sponsored by The Barron Real Estate Group.
The free summer concerts begin at 6 p.m. and end at 7:30 p.m. at Hoyt Park. Those attending may bring picnic baskets, cloth blankets and low-back chairs so everyone can see the band. No pets are allowed, and no plastic tarps are allowed since they kill the park’s grass.
