July 31, 2014 - Myers Park Concert - Herkimer NY

After an absence of 16 years, the Red Band returned to play a concert in Herkimer, NY, at Myers Park. They supplied us with chairs, lights, a sound system, and a large spacious bandstand.

The audience started arriving as our 32 piece band finished setting up and the concert started promptly at 7pm with a rousing version of Amparito Roca.

We had two debuts at this concert – a new member of the clarinet section, Lindsey Taube, and our trombone section consisting of Mark Cammarere, Frank Rossi, Rose Zaloom, and Dan Dillman were all sporting their “La Banda Rossa Team Trombone” hats.

I think it gave an extra flash when they played New York, New York. Good Job Bones!

Myer’s Park is a great setting for a summer band concert. It’s full of American history – complete with a large bronze statue of Gen. Herkimer.

We appropriately ended our concert with a salute to some great American music: This is My Country, the National Emblem March, Sing for America Medley, and of course the Sousa classic – The Stars and Stripes Forever featuring Barb Seaton on piccolo.
