My Second Act

We have a relatively new group in our church called Act II.  It's for folks over 50.  There are service projects and spiritual times but occasionally we do something fancy.

On Saturday night a big bunch of us got dressed up and went to the Orlando Philharmonics "Night at the Oscars."  First we had a backstage party, then those who cared to, attended a short lecture by the conductor.  (We stayed back stage with our friends and ate cheesecake.) 

I can't imagine anybody not enjoying this concert.  On stage was a huge screen above the orchestra that showed film clips of movies that have won Academy Awards for music.  Movies like "Citizen Kane," "Ben-Hur," "An American in Paris," and "The Wizard of Oz." 


All in all, a fantastic night with our fantastic Orlando Philharmonic.
