The Ransom Street Big Band was scheduled for two Beaver Island Community Center performances on August 26–27, 2011. The Friday program was presented in concert style; the Saturday program included a dance floor and cash bar, and the announcements described a USO-style veterans theme for one show. The forum preserves detailed advance programming but not attendance or proceeds.

Evidence limits

The forum documents the advertised schedule and program. A contemporaneous audience post says the performers were “wonderful,” but the archive does not hold an independent attendance or financial report.

The Center promoted the final Ransom Street Big Band performance with a dance floor, cash bar, veteran discount, and Shamrock dinner discount; a reply reported that the previous night's performance was wonderful. This is program promotion and audience testimony, not attendance or proceeds evidence.
