Lebanon, PA 3/24

If Chambersburg was short, Lebanon was even shorter. We only stayed one night in Lebanon. We awoke in Chambersburg and drove to Lebanon Cedarcrest High School to present a program for their music appreciation class and a few band and choir members. The students were engaging and asked good questions.

Our program went very well. It was a melancholy one for me as it marked the end of our community concert season. We had good experiences but best of all were friendships we made along the way.
George is no exception. He is the president of the community concert association in Lebanon. He has overseen the growth of the membership from 300 to over 600. He is a retired teacher who taught in a school in Hershey, PA that gives opportunities to students who come from one disadvantage or another in life. (More about Hershey in my next blog).

Sue Drazba and her husband were in attendance. They found me on iTunes and added my music to their website. It was an honor to meet them.
After the concert we were able to join George and his wife Carol for a Chocolate Sundae and for some brief but nice conversation. George grew up in the entertainment field and continued with his own children. At times the family presented themselves as clowns and at other times they were musicians. Whatever appealed to the audience.
