Here are a few photos from our Children's Concert in December 2003 (click on the thumb-nail to enlarge):

First, the entrance to the gym in front of over 1300 students!

 

Percussion section on stage:

Add some horns:       ...

how about a few BIG horns?     .....

and a few woodwinds:   

Put in a drum major ...

  ... add an audience:    And you have the fixin's for a great time!

Featuring the color guard! ....      

Even Mr. Tortomasi participated ...       

The percussion had their chance to shine:     

But what would a holiday concert be without Santa and his helpers?  

 

Everyone had a great time!
