A Holiday Spectacular December 1, 2007
Friday evening the Steamboat Springs Orchestra presented A Holiday Spectacular in the Moffat County High School auditorium. Under the direction of Ernest Richardson, the orchestra performed many pieces including "The Nutcracker" and "Deck the Halls." The orchestra practiced about six times in preparation for the show, which will be played three times, once here and twice in Steamboat. That is average for each of their 5 shows in the season.
