Natalie and I went to see the Baltimore Municipal Band at Burdick park tonight. It was great, as usual. They always play some interesting stuff. I could do without the sing-along portion of the show but I guess that must be a tradition. They had some technical problems with the PA that pretty much drowned out the band while they were playing "West Side Story" but they finally got things sorted out and finished the show, although it was shortened. This is one of two concerts by the band this year. They used to do a lot more than that. The other one is at Northside Baptist Church, over where we used to live on Cedarcroft. Mitchell and Cheryl got married there.
Set List:
- Pride of Baltimore March (Written by the Band Director, George Gaylor)
- Holst "Music for Band In F"
- West Side Story
- Three Italian Songs - La Strada, Venice in Summer, Anna Macora (Sung by Joe DiFranco)
- Respighi's Pines of Rome "Pines of the Apian Way"
- From Camelot "If ever I would Leave You" (Sung by Joe DiFranco)
- Souza "Hands Across The Sea"
- Plus the sing-along songs and of course, God Bless America
