Members of the “Popcorn Button” band will once again take to the stage this weekend in Atlantic,  for a night of music and dancing. The band will host a free, public dance at the Atlantic Elks Lodge on Saturday, July 12th, beginning at 7-pm and ending at 10. Dancers and listeners of all ages and abilities are invited to attend!

Popcorn Button consists of members of various different backgrounds. Many of the members hail from the Atlantic community, including current Atlantic High School Students, AHS alumni, as well as students from Iowa State University, the University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa, and also musicians from the community at large.

This dance, titled “Let Freedom Swing”, is a free public event. Everyone, no matter their dancing ability, is encouraged to attend. A free will donation will be accepted at the door to help defray costs of the event. All excess money will be given back to the community in the form of donations or through the Popcorn Button Community Music Scholarship, an award given to help young musicians pay the costs involved with attending band camps, honor hands, or taking private lessons.
