Rudy and Michele Santoli dance to Big Band music at Mackle Park Sunday. Michele said she married Rudy 53 years ago because “he could dance and make me laugh.”

Event organizer Amy Bright was blown away by the Marco Island crowd on hand at Mackle Park for her 18-piece big band concert Sunday.
“I didn’t know what to expect,” Bright said, “because it’s our first time being on Marco Island. We are overwhelmingly happy with the turnout. It’s a gorgeous day for it.”
Bright said it’s not just senior citizens who enjoy the Big Band music.
“It definitely crosses generations. Music from the ‘30s and ‘40s is timeless. I’m not a senior citizen yet, and I like it. Our tagline is classic sound with a modern spirit.”
