The CoolTones Big Band is a complete "big band", with 5 saxes, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, and a rhythm section (piano, bass, guitar, drums, auxiliary percussion), and of course a vocalist or two. The Band was founded in 1997. Since then, we have performed over 150 times as part of a variety of festivities including weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate parties and grand openings, festivals, winery events, non-profit fundraisers, and other public and private events.

The Pleasanton Downtown Association’s (PDA) popular Concert in the Park series will take place every Friday night from June 10th through August 26th, featuring an eclectic mix of music from classic rock, blues and big band to today's hits.  The free concerts run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and takes place at Lions Wayside Park on the corner of First Street and Neal Street.

While guests are allowed to put out blankets and chairs (at their own risk) in Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks, they are asked to wait until the morning of the concert to do so.  The use of rocks to hold down blankets is prohibited, as large rocks can damage lawn-mowing equipment.  Also, the use of plastic tarps, which can burn the grass, is not allowed.
