Last night, July 5th, our church hosted Tim Zimmerman and the King's Brass at a pavilion located in our city park. It was a beautiful summer evening. The crowd of over 500 seemed to enjoy the experience. There were several things that helped make the evening a blessing. 1. The setting - the North Park Pavilion is an wonderful structure that is fantastic for brass music. The ambiance of the evening hearkened back to "Music in the Park" - a series of summer concerts once held in the N.P. Pavilion. The pavilion was decorated with all sorts of Americana - which added to the whole of the ambiance. 2. July 5th, an outdoor concert, grilled hamburgers, and a great brass band that plays hymns, spiritual songs, and American classics is an awesome combination. 3. The weather was great. I was concerned about summer storms, but the Lord took care. And, it was not so hot. 4. The King's Brass is an very talented group. They work very hard to present music that is honoring to the Lord and enjoyable to people. They are inspiring. 5. Volunteers - there were a lot of people investing a lot of time and energy in making the concert work and I think their investment paid off.Several folks suggested this should be an annual event. That is something we need to consider.
