Mt. Harmony Piano Concert

We got over to Mt. Harmony early and claimed a row of seats in the balcony. Dorothy Watts joined us there and is shown here with Alisha, Carol, Sherry and Roger.

Bob and Bobbie Jackson sit with Brenda. Jim and Sharon Lance, Kim White and part of her family rounded out the MFBC group in the balcony.

The sanctuary was almost full for this Saturday night program. We started with Christmas carols and Denise stands ready for her part in the piano concert.

Denise on one of the six pianos early in the program.

Denise played in two duet arrangements. At right you can see more of the arrangement which included six grand pianos with 12 pianists plus two players on each of two electronic keyboards. They also had a flute and drums.

Denise had a couple of turns at the electronic keyboard. In bigger numbers they had 16 keyboard players, as with the skit accompanying the Twelve Days of Christmas.

The 25 musicians take a bow at the end of the outstanding performance. We were particularly proud of Denise, and of Gail Morris at extreme upper right, our church pianist at Mableton First. Several churches and several denominations were represented among the players.

It was a relaxed time and some of us sat around the den until late, just talking. We had a lot of current events to catch up on, and it is always pleasant to reminisce about the old days.
