Symphony at the Ballpark

We attended the annual Estrella Pops concert last evening and, as usual, enjoyed a fantastic concert by the Phoenix Symphony. Brian & Sam along with friends of ours Jeff and Dawna sat under the stars as the symphony played a long list of favorites by American composers Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Henry Mancini to name just a few. The concert has always been held at Estrella Mountain Ranch right on the edge of the lake but, due to our poor economy I trust, the primary sponsor (Newland Homes) backed out so the venue changed to the brand new Goodyear Ballpark built for the Cleveland Indians. Although the setting was more conducive to a festive atmosphere at the lake the show last night (sans fireworks) was a great time with good friends.
