Our International Band Exchange was a huge success!
Here's an RAI video clip on the August 18, 2011 concert:
Nepi, we love you!
Everything went perfectly. Our 43 Italian friends had a wonderful visit and we made amazing music together. Even the weather cooperated.
The Banda di Nepi concert on Thursday, August 18, 2011 attracted over one thousand people to Fort Allen Park. It was a delightful, magical experience.
The joint concert in Biddeford Pool attracted nearly 300 people and the sound was amazing, with over eighty musicians.
Thank you, everyone
