Cameron College Music Evening Lacks Audience Connection
The outdoor concert titled Music for a Summer Evening drew about 400 to 500 people but failed to connect with the audience. Rene Pitt as Bloody Mary stood out among soloists while the chorus and cast struggled with consistency in South Pacific numbers. The band impressed with Marche Militaire Francaise though overall PA issues and scattered distractions hindered flow.
