Golden Gate Park Post Performance notes from Craig Northrup, June 15, 2010

You played a wonderful concert. I heard nothing but superlatives from people in the audience who stopped me after the concert to say how fantastic you played and how much they liked our spunky program. One audience member said to John Bertschy, our bassoonist, that "Your band was announced as an amateur community band...but you guys aren't amateurs!" I was talking to the festival organizers before we played, and they asked if I had ever performed or conducted in this music pavilion. When I said no, they said , "You won't believe the acoustics. Everyone can hear everyone else and it is even better than rehearsing indoors." You heard it for yourself, I'm sure. We received at our San Francisco concert a CERTIFICATE of SPECIAL CONGRESSIONAL RECOGNITION from the Congress of the United States of AMERICA for outstanding service to our community.
