Tallahassee Breezes, the Tallahassee Clarinet Choir, had its debut concert Monday, August 28, 2017 at Westminster Oaks. It was an evening filled with music and educational tidbits ranging from music, composers, and the various clarinets. We had a great crowd and the choir (and our guest percussionist) played wonderfully.
Front: Mike Garrison, Millie Fryman, Gary Zirin, Patti Brownstein, Patricia Crispino, Tomoka Brady, Ken Brodhead, Ginny Densmore. Back: Mike Neidhart, Geoff Gradford, Judy Stone, Cathy Ray, Carol Marchant
