Brookfield Civic Band Spring Concert







The Brookfield Civic Band played a wonderful concert today. We did a John Williams Theme:
The Patriot
A Prayer For Peace
The March from 1941
Theme from Schindler's List (my clarinet solo piece)
Star Wars--The Marches

I thought the band did VERY well this afternoon. I enjoyed playing my first solo piece with band (though a bit nervous) but grateful to have had the opportunity. J. video taped the concert and one of the guys in the band will also be making a DVD for the band members. So, for those family members unable to attend the concert today (aka, my parents:), they'll have a "second" chance:D For the final piece, Star Wars, we had a surprise guest appearance made by some life-size Star Wars "action figures." Back stage, after the show, the "band kids" enjoyed meeting them and playing with their lasor thingies. A few of us hit TGI-Fridays for a post band get-together----a great afternoon was had by all!
