What an incredible New Year’s Eve we had! The Peter Hennes Orchestra was the main attraction for an invitation only celebration at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN, playing for a crowd of 4,000! In other areas of the Casino, the performers included Second City, the Bobby Lewis Jazz Band, Larry Taylor Blues and Soul Band, and the Impalas. We had a rockin’ good time entertaining an enthusiastic crowd bringing in the New Year with non-stop dancing. The band even managed to do a little gambling on our breaks!
