Palatine Band Concert...

...in the Park. Tonight the Palatine Concert Band began their outdoor concert series on a beautiful 70 degree evening with the half moon above (along with the inevitable aircraft beginning landing patterns to O'Hare Airport -- fortunately they are just seen, not heard.)

They opened with "The Star Spangled Banner," followed by Chattaway's "Parade of the Tall Ships," Stuart Johnson's "A Circus Suite," John Williams' "Raider's March," William Schuman's "Chester Overture," Frank Ticheli's "Cajun Folk Songs," Michael Brown's "Opening Night On Broadway," and Franz von Suppe's "Poet and Peasant Overture."

Sarah also made it the concert despite a last minute cat emergency requiring her doctoring skills as she was leaving the vet clinic.

Additional concerts this summer will be on July 9th and August 1st at 8pm.
