Saturday night,

We traveled to Burlington, Iowa for our first
"Symphonic Blast!" experience.
(Absolutely Free and open to the public!)
I may be wrong, but I believe we were told this was the 14th annual concert.
It takes place in Crapo Park.
The SE Iowa Symphony entertains the crowd with several numbers.
Here are a couple of short video clips.
Enjoy!!

A very good friend of ours plays in the SE Iowa symphony, which is conducted by Robert McConnell. They hold three Classical Concert weekends (each weekend performance is played on a Friday night and repeated twice on Saturdays, all in different locations: Ottumwa, Burlington, Mt. Pleasant and now in Fairfield). They also support three "kidsymphany" performances (all on one day) in November, a variety of educational projects in the schools, Pops concerts and a Messiah Sing. Tickets are Very reasonable. Members of the symphony travel from many, many points in SE Iowa to play together. And, now, let me sell you YOUR membership tickets! ;-)
At least you might want to plan to attend next year's concert!
Definitely not a "shady deal!"

I probably won't be needing any tickets, because of the lengthy commute from the East coast, but your fireworks and stirring music got this day off to a good start! ...Deb
