In washington im kristine 3 musical experiment began right here in sioux city. 3 now. As sioux citys rockestra prepares for its final show. Its creator reminisces about the journey with our own jacob heller. 3 it was the first of its kind in the entire country. And this april will be your last chance to see this original professional rock and roll orchestra perform live. Sioux citys rockestra is calling it quits after 12 years. Siouxland news anchor jacob heller met with the groups creator. To find out why its time to bring this musical experiment to an end. 3 in 2004 john luebke had an idea. My Goodness Gracious we in sioux city, and i started putting it together the next day. A classical sound. Paired with the instruments of teenage rebellion. From the beatles to techno. In his basement studio. Now. Twelve years later. Johns getting ready for rockestras last show. We decided this would be a good time to call it a day. Rockestra was the first rock androll orchestra in the country. Born in sioux city. Its an orchestra because we have strings, we have woodwinds, we have brass and then right in the middle we put a rockandroll rythm section. And people responded to the sound at the bands first concerts here at the Eppley Auditorium at Morningside College. A bandmate of johns was the first to really notice. During a song. On stage. She said turn around. i said what . she said turn and everybody was standing and cheering right in the middle of the song. Singalong success doesnt come easy. Start with songs almost everyone knows. John puts notes to screen. And you have a rockandroll orchestra song ready for the orpheum stage. Like the venues. The crowds started small. But got bigger. From 232 it grew to almost one thousand. It has to be the word of mouth because our Marketing Budget is, like, 14. The money was one of the things that never really grew. The first check that i sent to everybody after the very first concert was 12 and 32 cents. And if i forget that, a love for music started this rockandroll experiment. Kept it goin. Until now. 2016 will be the year this experiment comes to an end. Nobody wants to go out on a bad note, nobody wants to go out when were barely breathing, we want to go out on top. But even back then twelve years ago. Rockestras members knew this musical experiment was goinna be tops. Is it going to fly . Oh yeah its going fly. You wait, this is nothing. Its going to cook. And it will. Up until the last curtain call. 3 rockestras last concert will be saturday april 9th at the orpheum.
