Meet the
Raytown Kiwanis Orchestra

Raytown Kiwanis Orchestra 

The RKO is music's answer to the Not Ready for Prime Time Players!  They offer up a rich mix of the obscure and the familiar, the ridiculous and the sublime.  They parody and pay tribute to the blues and stride of the 1920's, forgotten gems of Broadway, country & western, rock, and TV commercials – little escapes their fevered imaginations.

Their show includes "The Hostility Song," what every kid wants to say to the school bully; "Breakfast in Buellton," an homage to not so far away places with strange sounding names; "Twister" is dedicated to one of Mother Nature's most powerful weapons; "Big Bad Boy," an ode to the survival of Bob's Big Boy; Tom Bodett for Motel 6; "The Money Song," celebrating everybody's favorite color; "Baby Boom," for those who remember Paul McCartney's first band and many more!
