PAST PERFORMANCES

1. PAC Band Winter Concert, "Musical Reflections of the Last Century", on February 20, 2000 in the Papillion-La Vista High School Auditorium.  Held in conjunction with the annual Papillion Lion's Club Spaghetti Feed, this annual concert had a variety of music representing each decade of the 20th century.  Over 200 people attended.   Two very special guests joined us:  Elaine Kalal-Stoner making her fourth appearance with the PAC Band sang "Over the Rainbow" (from the Wizard of Oz) and "But Not for Me" (a swingin' Gershwin piece); and Rob McCartney, news anchorman for KETV, Channel 7, in his second appearance with the PAC Band, narrated the events of each decade.  Elaine's beautiful voice & Rob's memorable and humorous anecdotes well received by an enthusiastic audience.  The PAC Band looks forward to future performances with these professionals!  In addition to the concert, the Dixieland Band provided an hour of entertainment at the Spaghetti Feed in the high school cafeteria.  After the concert, there was a press conference to formally announce the Fund Drive for the Outdoor Performing Arts Center at Walnut Creek.
