LAST HURRAH!
Well this past Saturday was our last full performance of the summer. While I am sad to see it go I am also happy that we will get back to learning new songs and hopefully doing some school workshops and community clinics. That’s the great thing about it just when you are ready for a change of pace, voila! The performance went well. It was at the Parry Sound Airport’s 8th Annual Fall Fly-In. It’s kind of fitting, we started the year at the Parry Sound Dragon Boat Festival and we ended it back in Parry Sound. Little history fact for you, our very first public performance was in Parry Sound way back in 2001. There was this cray little plan that runs on two 15 hp motors. Can you believe it? They also had a Fokker triplane (maybe better described by saying, The Red Baron’s plane) and a Sopwith biplane. Also some guy flew in with a pretty cool stunt biplane. I heard that they had 3,000 people through out the day. The runway was super busy. I sure am glad I wasn’t the guy on the ground directing all the air traffic.

Little Bird forgot to mention how beautiful the weather was too. I think that it was warmer than forecasted by the weather man. The NLSO was kind enough to play a rousing encore when they were supposed to be done and the fans had some fun dancing as a group. Go Harmony! That’s the name of the dancer that blew us away!
