Labor Day Concert Well-Received




Honoring America's workers, the AmVets Band played a two-hour Labor Day Concert at the Sunrise Retirement Facility.

The audience were thrilled to hear so many old, familiar tunes. Some members of the audience enjoyed the concerts from chairs on the lawn, but many more appreciated the Band's efforts from their porches at their own homes.

Some of their favorite tunes included I Left My Heart in San Francisco, Tennessee Waltz, an Irving Berlin Medley, and Let Me Call You Sweetheart.

Two students from Cordova High School exhibited their great sight-reading skills by filling in the ranks at the last minute. The band extends their thanks to Maya Sailor (clarinet) and Tiko Cassidy (flute), and hopes they will be able to play with the band on a regular basis.
