July 4th at Caramoor



About 20 of us from 8 to almost 80 years young were among 60 invited local ringers at the Caramoor 4th of July concert by the Westchester Symphonic Winds.       We enjoyed listening to the performance of 60 strong wind ensemble, alt saxophone solo and vocalist and at the finale of the concert with now traditional Independence Day music by Tchaikovsky's 1812, we played handbell with the band.       You can guess where we played; at the end where all the fireworks starts.     Due to the unfortunate huge rain in previous day there was no fireworks that night so our handbell added special color to the concert.


Sorry there is no group picture!    We were all busy practicing and playing!
Westchester Symphonic Winds has a home page HERE and there may be a photo album of the performance later on.    Check it out.
