<p>Sunday afternoon, we drove back to Vassar for the Vassar College & Community Wind Ensemble concert. (that is their official name on the program). This is the community band that ctparent2006 referred to above. It is about 70% Vassar students this semester. The performance was great - (not quite to the level of the orchestra but very strong all around). Even my father leaned over to me during one of the more contemporary pieces and said “I really enjoyed that piece.” He usually only likes the Sousa marches (just kidding!). Anyway, this concert , just like the orchestra concert was well attended by both students and locals (there is no admission charge). You could have ‘heard a pin drop’ during both concerts -lots of respect and support for the musicians.</p>
