For one night the center of the DSO world was in Terrell, TX.....

....and we loved it. 

The 2013-2014 E! Terrell Entertainment Series kicked off last night with a performance by the world renowned Dallas Symphony Orchestra.  It was the first time the entire orchestra performed at the Performing Arts Center in Terrell and they sounded great!  They played a total of ten numbers starting with The Barber of Seville Overture and ending over an hour and a half later with Radetzky March. In between, the men dressed in black suits with black bow ties and the ladies dressed in all black, played favorites Pomp and Circumstance No.1, American Salute, and two different Hoe Down numbers, one from Copland and one from Hayman. They also threw in the Raiders of the Lost Ark Theme among a few others. The conductor was Alasdair Neale and Angela Fuller Heyde was a solo violinist on Ravel's Tzigane.  I had goosebumps from the first note till the end.

Baseball season came to an end for the Tigers Saturday. It was a fun to be able to watch and take pictures at the games. Thank you Coach Casey Rush, players and parents for a fun year. I added photo albums to the Facebook page from Friday and Saturdays games.

Anyone can also add photos to the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page. If you have something you want to share post it there.

Hal Richards was re-elected Mayor of Terrell on Saturday. He ran away from his challenger. I'm I the only person who thought the race was going to be close?

Brian and I went to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra last night. Selected Fridays during the season are called Casual Fridays. You are allowed to wear jeans. Here is a view of from our seats. Pictures were not allowed during the performance and this was with my camera phone. We sit where the budget allows.

The Symphony preformed Prokofiev: Music from Romeo and Juliet and sounded great.
