A Concert at the Santa Rosa Junior College

Last night I watched and listened to a concert from teenagers. One Symphonic Band was directed by a conductor from Mario Carillo High School. This band has flutes, oboes, violins, clarinets, trumpet, horns, trombones, picola, saxaphones and percussion. I had heard at another concert before. This one had a theme 'Music for a Rainy Day'. One boy looked like my son whoknows how to play the trombone.
It was great to hear them again. They had about 46 members.

The SRJC symphonic Band has about 44 members who play flute, oboe, clarinet, piano, basson, trumpet, horns, tuba, euphonium,percussion, and various saxaphones. one of their tunes was in honor of the tragedy that occurred on 9/11/2001. another one was a vibrant cloudbursy song. Finally both bands combined and played a familiar tune "Ave Maria" and a sea song.
