"Bugs Bunny on Broadway" was a huge success. Conductor George Daugherty and crew made the week of performances a breeze for the orchestra. With concerts on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the symphony presented an event filled with laughs and great music. Though all ages can appreciate Mr. Bugs Bunny himself, the younger members of our audience could be heard enjoying the humor of that "wascally wabbit." It was truly a concert series the entire family could enjoy. This series also presented a new challenge to the musicians. Because the timing of the cartoons is unchangeable, each musician wore a headset to listen to a "click track." As long as we stayed with the metronome-like sound clicking away in our ears, the music would be in synchronization with the cartoon.
Below are a few pictures taken at the performances.
