SAVE THE DATE Fri., June 19, doors open at 6 pm, show starts at 7 pm; $20 pp. There is little doubt that the legendary band Queen and lead performer Freddie Mercury earn high ranks as one of the most powerful and iconic groups in rock history. Queen, the kings of arena rock, performed to packed stadiums around the globe for over two decades . Queen Nation, a tribute to Queen, is the West Coast's longest running most authentic costumed re- creation of a Vintage Queen concert. The show consists of four musicians who all sing and perform in character and in period costumes while playing live note-for-note renditions of Classic Queen songs including We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, You're My Best Friend, Another One Bites The Dust, Under Pressure and many more. Featured front man Vocalist Gregory Finsley is an amazing singer with an uncanny tone that matches the late great Freddy Mercury to a tee. Gregory also is an excellent concert pianist which allows him to accurately recreate what Freddy Mercury magically did live on stage in Queen's original four-piece lineup. Queen Nation has been crowned by their loyal legion of fans as "The People's Choice Tribute To Queen Champions." Arguably they are one of the hardest working tribute bands in the US. Tickets for this concert will go on sale Wed;, April 1. For further questions please contact the Recreation Department. RECREATION DEPARTMENT | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2020 | 15 From the Recreation Director By Elise Campbell "Good manners cost nothing. Bad Manners can cost you your reputation." ~ B.D. Hawkey With Sun Lakes being such a tight knit community, keep in mind that everyone interacts with one another on any given day. Keep your reputation held in high regard. It's important to treat others the way you would like to be treated. A simple act of kindness can go a long way and can be achieved by opening a door for a fellow resident or not cutting in line at events when others have been waiting patiently. The way you treat others is the way you will be perceived throughout your community. Be kind to one another!
