The Mount Pulaski Community Band presented the
first of four summer concerts on a delightful Wednesday evening with
a cooling breeze. The band performed in the bandstand on the
Mount Pulaski Courthouse lawn in front of 50 or more nestled in their
lawn chairs within the courthouse and tree shade -- in addition to
those in their cars on the southeast side of the square.
|
Conductor Harry Hild Jr. had his players
perform "Aztec Fire," "Escapada," "It Don't Mean a Thing," "Hymn to
the Saints," "Bridgeview," "Thames Alley March," "Acclamations,"
"Bugle Call Rag," "Morning Has Broken," "March Militaire," "Raise
Your Joys and Triumphs High," and "Transit of Venus," bookended by
the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America." |

Hild introduced each piece with interesting
background information. The annual performance was well-received by
all. Credit was given to the following: Mount Pulaski Grade School,
Mount Pulaski Park District, Tomlinson Trust, AMP Studios, and Bill
and
Judy Cavestani.

The Cavestani twin dogs enjoyed themselves,
too. |
