I play in a 169-year-old town band, and the day after Thanksgiving we present one of our biggest concerts of the year. It's a huge treat for us and audiences seem to enjoy it as well. It is how I wrap up the Thanksgiving holiday, though we get an extra-long weekend because here in NW PA, tomorrow is a day off from school because it's the first day of deer season. Hope your celebrations, whatever form they may take, have been pleasant as well.
