Last Thursday evening started out a little tense, but we soon relaxed under the influence of our own musicality! For you see, it was the first outdoor concert for the Lapeer Civic Orchestras! As we played our respective instruments, concenterated on the notes and dynamics before our eyes, and glanced at the conductor on a regular basis, beautiful music flowed over the audience. We pricked up their ears with "The Stars and Stripes Forever", "The Syncopated Clock", "When I Can Read My Title Clear", and "To Reap The Blessings of Freedom"(a medley of the Armed Forces anthems), we softened hearts with "Shenandoah", "Brother James Air", and "Celtic Lullaby", and finally we brought a few tears with "Ashokan Farewell". Miss Lindy Wagner was our soloist for "Ashokan" and she played beatifully!
