Strike Up the Band

In this charming musical, a group of enthusiastic students at Riverwood High School band together to form a dance orchestra under the leadership of Jimmy Connors, who dreams of conducting a big band. With the help of his friend Mary and some clever fundraising, they manage to raise enough money to pay for their instruments and even secure a spot in a prestigious Chicago contest. As the stakes grow higher, Jimmy must balance his ambitions with his friendships and family obligations, all set to an upbeat soundtrack that showcases the talents of Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.
