The 2008 Summer Season is over, and it was a
wonderful success.  Two large audiences came out
for an evening of fun.
Opening with African Processional, the African drumming
ensemble entered from the back of the hall playing
authentic African instruments.  Following the opener,
the audience was able to participate by clapping
rhythms, led by the lead drummers.
Another highlight was the children's choir, directed
by David & Arien Harper.  Their rendition of If You're
Happy and You Know It (with a South LA twist) was a hit!
The rest of the program included choir and
concert band selections of various styles including
the tango, polka, march, Spanish, Motown,
stage & screen and spiritual.
We thank our members, advertisers, FACE, children's
choir, and of course our audience for the
an enjoyable season!

especially recognize:  David & Arien Harper for
their work with the Community Children's Choir,
Fine Arts Council of Eunice (FACE) for exhibiting in
the annex, Dr. Steve Guempel for a masterful job
as our Master of Ceremonies, our program advertisers
(the financial backbone of the organization),

The 2007 Summer Program was a tribute to our great country.
It opened with a visit from one of our nation's founding fathers,
then musically traversed the 231 years of American history --
featuring traditional, patriotic, swing, Broadway,
classical, and a few surprises! A highlight of the concert
was a performance by the ECCBC Children's Choir, singing
Take Me Out to the Ballgame.
