Rain Didn't Stop This Dedicated River Concert Audience on July 6th

 The July 6th Hits of the 40's (1740's) was a success, even in the rain.  These are some of the dedicated music lovers at St. Mary's College of Maryland.  The show must go on was TRUE!  Much of the music was still popular today, Rondeau by Mouret (popularized as the theme to the Masterpiece Theater), Vivaldi's Spring from the Seasons, and Canon in D by Pachelbel were included, to name a few.  See my separate post to view the concert photos!

That's a lot of umbrellas!

Rare Rained Out River Concert on July 14, 2017

A threatening storm and downpour cancelled a wonderful River Concert which would have featured a ballet, tango and clarinet Concerto by the Chesapeake Orchestra and friends at St. Mary's College of Maryland.

I photographed a few rehearsing musicians before the audience was requested to take cover from the impending thunderstorm.  I wished we had arrived earlier for more of the rehearsal.  If you have any photos taken of the rehearsal, please feel free to share them.

 The skies started looking ominous before it was strongly suggested to take cover from the storm.

 Our friend, Scott Jacoby, was still at work supporting the Newtowne Players

 After a downpour, the sun peaked out between the clouds, while one of the vendors had braced their tent from the storm. 

 Taking away the chairs.  This shot said it all!

River Concert 4 Friday July 8th 2011

St. Mary's College of Maryland

Rained out!

Fifth River Concert Brought out Some Smiles

Once again, Jim and I attended the River Concert on July 16th at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. A 16 year old violinist, Brian Hong was featured. I arrived quite early and the heat and humidity were particularly oppressive. Minutes before the concert began, a brief storm passed by, cooling off the temperatures considerably. At first I thought about keeping my gear dry, but I couldn’t resist taking out my camera to take these photos of the crowd, showing how delighted folks were to feel the cooling rain. Sometimes the spectators are as interesting as the show. To read my review of the concert, visit the Bay Net.
