A Different Sort of Band Concert By Harvy Hillyer
A March 20 band concert at the N Y venue mixed comedy with music. Sousa’s Stars and Stripes provoked laughs from trombone players and a piccolo, while pieces like Michel Legrand in Concert and The Carpenters numbers gave a serious turn. Bandorama and percussion highlights were noted, with future plans to perform more of the suite next month. Jay Mitchel Gage Mitch, son of John and family, born April 1955, pursues art and shop classes and wrestling, with a blunt dislike for mornings and a wish to stay home before perhaps Florida. Mike, son of Melvin Irvin, born March 14, 1955, active in sports and youth groups, enjoys cars and pizza, and offers a push-back message to peers.
