October 8, 2010 - Adjusters International Picnic

The Adjuster’s International Company located in The Utica Business Park hired the Red Band to play at their 25th Anniversary Picnic. It was held on the lawn and parking lot in front of their office building on a Friday afternoon.

There was a definite Italian flavor to this event – it was catered in grand style by the Ancora Restaurant. It featured an Italian buffet with Saranac beverages and red, white, and green floral displays on pristine white table cloths. They graciously invited the Band to partake of some refreshments during our break – did I mention the platters of Pastries?

The highlight of their picnic was the very competitive Bocce Ball game that was being played right in front of the Band. The teams were named after various catastrophes such as Typhoon and Hurricane.

Although it was a sunny, mild day – the wind was very strong. A tent had been setup for us to play in and the side flaps kept blowing inward knocking over chairs and music stands. We had to secure the flaps with bungee cords onto Arlene’s car. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!

VIVA LA BANDA ROSSA!!
