Friday Night Post-concert

The concert is over, and it's time to relax. Things, as always, were a bit tense; last-minute scheduling changes kept everyone on their toes. The players put their hearts into it, but three rehearsals is three rehearals.

And they were enough. Fron Wilbur Smith's opening downbeat, you knew this concert would be one to remember. The band was strong, balanced, and kept the audience enthralled throughout. I'll hope to soon provide video of Stephanie Richards's rendition of "The Last Measure of Devotion." There were tears in the audience, some of them mine. But they were the good kind of tears, the kind that fall when you're experiencing something powerful.

But we're taking it easy now. Soon, things will move to the lounge, where we won't be taking it so easy.
 


The concert band always peaks on Fridays.
