It was a beautiful evening and a large crowd turned out with sweaters, jackets, sunglasses and lawn chairs.
Danielle's and Cafe CaNole supplied sausage and peppers, and Italian pastries. The aroma wafted over the Bandstand with the audience singing as we played all their favorite Italian songs introduced by our very own interlocutor, Pasquale Giuseppe Santacroce.
We were joined this evening by trumpeter Dorian Mohar - back from his cruise ship gig (Welcome Home), and joining us on bass drum was Red Band veteran, Frank LaPuma.
Barb Seaton is now playing a very special instrument at Red Band concerts - look for her new RED flute and piccolo!
The concert closed with a salute to our director Arlene and her husband Pierre celebrating their 48th wedding anniversary and then everyone sang "Happy Birthday" in honor of baritone player, Donna DeRosa.
Italian Night in East Utica is all about
