Courtesy photo The Emperors, a local band that performs mostly ‘70s and ‘80s rock and pop, will be the headline band at the next Rossmoor Family Festival on July 12 at Rush Park. The Emperors (with other similar names) have been performing and recording music since the ‘70s, when they saw some moderate success on the charts and toured the USA and Japan. Though going through some member changes, the core group remains together and have become a popular classic rock band in and around Orange County during the summer concert season.
