Welcome!
With lots of brass, a little sass, and plenty of pizzazz, the award-winning George Lake BIG Band would be happy to swing for you sometime soon. Their finely tuned repertoire draws on the timeless appeal of the greats; Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw through Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall and Michael Buble. Whether you are looking for a dance band, a swing orchestra or a full on jazz orchestra, the George Lake BIG Band has you covered. This distinctive blend has given the George Lake Big Band a unique style that continues to win fans from every generation. Simply put, they can really swing! Whatever your event, be it a corporate event, a festival, a special birthday, anniversary or wedding, we’ve done them all.

THE music event in November is when the George Lake BIG Band and Little Peter and the Elegants combine to give you wonderful music from many decades. We have set the date this year as Saturday, October 25
We wanted to reach out to the people who attended Music to Remember 2024. This great event was held for the first time in the Trillium East Room at Le Tréport Wedding and Convention Centre, 1075 Queensway East in Mississauga. We received many compliments on this new location. You also told us how we can improve the experience. Music to Remember returns to Le Tréport on Saturday October 25, 2025 in the much larger Trillium Ballroom. People are excited and 96 tickets are already sold.
Doors will open at 5:00pm, the buffet will start at 5:30pm and the live music begins at 7:00pm. The George Lake BIG Band and Little Peter and the Elegants will alternate sets for your dancing and listening pleasure! Let’s look at the improvements for this year!
n
The Trillium Ballroom features:
- 11,500 square feet of space, compared to 4,600 square feet at last year’s event
- Comfortably accommodates up to 650 people – we will restrict ticket sales to 360
- Has a significantly bigger dance floor measuring 2,400 square feet, compared to 900 square feet at last year’s event
You can view photos of our upgraded venue at this webpage: https://www.littlepeterandtheelegants.com/le-treport-2025
There will be a hot buffet of Grilled chicken with mushrooms, Pasta with Alfredo sauce, rice, vegetables plus salads and a vegetarian option of Eggplant Parmigiana. A selection of desserts will be placed on each table. Only 360 tickets will be sold to ensure ample dancing space and comfortable seating for everyone. Two bars will be set up and more employees will be working the room.
Tickets are $65 per person and we are offering YOU a discounted price of $60 until February 28. Reserve your seats now! Then pay for your tickets over the next month.
When reserving a full table, you can now choose between a table of 10 or a table of 8 and we will be asking for a larger table size for these groups. Feel free to e-transfer $60 x the number of tickets to steve.pettafor@gmail.com or mail a cheque payable to “Peter Toller” to Peter Toller, 92 Lakeshore Rd. E. Mississauga, ON L5G 4S2. We will then get the tickets out to you.
Please tell your friends about this exciting event! Contact us anytime. Music to Remember on Saturday October 25 will be a highlight of 2025!
