Sunday was a very special matinee concert at Rome's historic Capitol Theatre. This venue was absolutely gorgeous. It made me feel like I was on an old-time Vaudeville stage. That being said, it was definitely one of the more challenging places for us to set up the band's equipment. The ramp we had to use for unloading was extremely steep and the slush on the ground made it slippery and dangerous. Of course, the crew worked together and made it happen. Here is a picture of the audience waiting to hear our show. The place was packed, including the balcony! 
Things were very crowded on the stage. Here you can see Scott trying to reconcile sitting so close to the trumpets. He is probably trying to figure out how he's going to pick up his tuba without knocking something over.
Before our show there was an organist who played a great set of fun music. It definitely added to the nostalgic vibe of the theatre. It was hard to get a good picture, but the organ is actually down in the pit below the stage.
The crowd in Rome was so enthusiastic and supportive! It is starting to get colder now, and I'm getting a better taste of up-state New York. After the concert we had to get back on the road and drive all the way up around the Adirondacks to Canton, which is very close to Canada. It was a long day, but while it was still daylight the drive was beautiful. We saw deer and turkey and lovely snow-covered scenery- best viewed from the warmth of a vehicle in my opinion!
