Let’s go.

There is the signpost up ahead.

From the chess players point of view, it looks like a friendly crowd

The concertmaster gets everyone on the same page.

The mayor has to say a few words.

The announcements are finished, and the concert is underway.

I hope you enjoyed it. Now it is time to eat and listen to our other band.

    1. There is always something. Last night we photographed an event called The Witches Ride. Fun stuff. When you think that I do 52 of these posts a year says there is a lot going on. Thanks, Keith.

  10. I love Shakshuka so I have to try this short rib version!

    How wonderful to hold concerts in this pretty park.

    I tell ya, she’s got a set of pipes on her. No wonder she plays the trumpet! Way to get our groove on this morning, John.

  14. So much FUN, both for the Band members and the audience! Thank you, John. It’s great “hearing” a concert from the other side of the stage, for a change. Brings back so many fond memories of summer band here!

    Yes, it was a lovely day for a concert, and for me to enjoy one of those Avocado Toasts during the music.

    Thank you, John!

  20. What a lovely time in a really lovely park! And, the tables must’ve been groaning under all that delicious-sounding food. As others have mentioned, you certainly live in a lovely place. Austin?

  28. What a delightful event. Thank you, John. And a big thanks for one of my favorite songs, “Dance To the Music.” At school this is a big favorite with rhythm sticks. Every time we do the song there is a ‘snow day’ the next day. Really. It all started when my young assistant teacher, who didn’t know the song,….It’s a great story. I’ll have to write a blog post about it. Apologies for getting off track, but music does that in the best of ways. 🙂
