Starting from the Chief Sergeant Daisy Jackson who contacted us last year for this special joint concert, it was great pleasure to work with nice people who are great musicians and music lovers. On the day of the rehearsal, it was a little surprise to find the whole strings section were wearing the jungle colored uniforms. We were in the rehearsal studio in the Air Force base, so that they have to wear some kind of uniforms, I think. After the rehearsal , Technical Sergeant Eric was packing his harp. Harps are big instruments to pack.
Harpists are usually the last persons to leave the studios.
He was a big guy with this jungle colored uniform. We started to talk, and he showed us his stuff on harp. We immediately understood how much he loves his harp and music. We agreed that we do some special things with him next time we play with the Orchestra. The day of the concert, every one was in their official uniforms .
