Palatine Band Concert

Following our Mother's Day festivities, many of us went to Scott's concert with the Palatine Concert Band, and enjoyed wonderful music by Offenbach, Camphouse, Leroy Anderson, Chaminade, Rossini, Brubaker, and Holst.



During intermission, Scott came out to visit with his groupies -- Sarah and me in this photo, but also Ellen, Steve, Kasia, and Susan.


A special treat was flue soloist Sarah Finegan, a senior at Fremd High School (where I taught for 29 years before retirement) but also a member of my church's orchestra. Though still young, Sarah's accomplishments required a full page in the program to list, and included principal flute in the All-State Honors Orchestra.



She received a well-deserved standing ovation from the audience and her justifiably proud parents and siblings.
