June 1, 2009 - Utica Monday Nite Concert

Despite a forecast predicting evening showers and cool temperatures - a good-sized crowd turned out for the Red Band's appearance at the Heritage Celebration in Chancellor Park.

Our 2009 kick-off concert was introduced by the Utica Monday Nite Producer/Director Lynne Mishalanie, as Utica's Mayor David Roefaro listened in. Then Lynne passed the microphone to our official "interlocutor" Pat Santacroce who asked the audience to please stand as we played the National Anthem and the Italian National Anthem "Inno Di Mameli".

This year we performed for one hour but we managed to play a lot of music - including many of the the Italian favorites.

Although the sky seemed to be getting darker as we played - it didn't rain and we all (band and audience) enjoyed a most successful concert.

VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!!
