Funky Dawgz Plan to Bring Back the Noise to UCC of Tolland

By: Kelly Lovett

The United Congregational Church of Tolland will host a Mardi Gras themed service on Sunday, February 26^th at 10:00am; filled with foot-stomping, hand-clapping, and a grand time! The Funky Dawgz is a 12 man brass band from Uconn’s Marching Band and Pep Band and we are thrilled to be welcoming them back for the second year, to provide authentic Mardi Gras music and entertainment during the service. The Funky Dawgz play a mix of traditional New Orleans R&B, original music, and today’s top hits with a brass twist. They won the SoNo “Breaking the Band Battle”, where first prize consisted of opening for the Village People at the 2013 Norwalk Oyster Festival.

Come get jazzed when the Funky Dawgz perform on Sunday, February 26^th. There will only be one service at 10:00am, so make sure you don’t miss out on this special entertainment. In addition, pancakes will be served in the Fellowship Hall from 9-10:00am and again following the service from 11:00-12:00pm for a minimal fee. It will surely be a fun time for all ages!

The United Congregational Church of Tolland is located at 45 Tolland Green, Tolland, CT. Feel free to check the church’s website at www.ucctolland.org for updates or call the office at 860-875-4160.
