There was a neat surprise at the Symphonic Band concert last Saturday night at Eissey Theatre in Palm Beach Gardens. Brian (trumpet player) proposed to his girlfriend Irene (sax player) on stage! The bassoonist sitting behind Irene captured the event on camera. Brian is computer programmer and maintains the band's website in his spare time. Irene teaches music in a local middle school. Before the concert started, another trumpet player secretly passed out excerpts to the 'Wedding March' to various band members saying, "it's was a surprise, you'll know when to play it". I thought it was pretty neat. The audience really got into it too.

Proposing to girlfriend on stage!
