The REFESH BERKS shower trailer is a fully functioning mobile trailer with 2 shower rooms. It can be parked at locations around Berks county and hooked up to local water sources. Our goal is to provide dignity to the homeless population of Berks County through the means of a mobile shower trailer.
The Let’s Dance 17-piece big band, which was formed in 2002, is dedicated to keeping the art form of the jazz big band alive in the Berks County music scene. Consisting of twenty members with the basic 5-4-4-4 instrumentation, male and female vocalists, and a sound /equipment manager, the band has played for a variety of venues including Berks County’s Mid-Atlantic Air Museum’s World War II weekend, county summer concert series, Berks County Jazz Fest, weddings, dances, civic events, and private affairs. This talented band consists of local musicians that are diverse in age and occupation, and enjoy playing big band music as an avocation.
