Sunday night, the community bands that Sarah plays in were performing at Sumtur Amphitheater. First the Nebraska Wind Symphony played several patriotic songs and American marches.
This is a very laid back environment and the concession stand has a good choice of food and drinks. I asked them what they had in terms of beer and after listing the usual suspects (bud light, bud lime, etc.) the man said they had Lucky Bucket. I think having a local brewery has been a great benefit to local beer lovers. While it is not my favorite brewery, it is a vast improvement on the other American light lagers that are the normal fare.
The concert itself was great. Classic marches, musical numbers and patriotic songs all well played in great weather. After the Wind Symphony, the Swingtones (a jazz big band) played several standards. Sarah plays in the group as well.
In the end, this was a great concert in a great venue. I'll try to go to more events at Sumtur and I am also looking forward to the reprise concert July 4th at Chalco Hills.
Sorry we missed this. The nap monster invaded, and I didn't wake up in time to go. It was a beautiful night for it!
