"Music is the universal language of mankind" - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“There are two golden rules for an orchestra: start together and finish together. The public doesn’t give a damn what goes on in between.” — Thomas Beecham
When was the last time you listened to live (not recorded) music? Where were you?

A rousing Shout Out to Nicole Marriott Fullmer (https://www.facebook.com/nicole.marriott.75) . Nicole plays oboe in our orchestra, serves on the administrative board and does quite a bit of arranging for us. She is just plain awesome. It's no wonder Jason is Falling Hard for her.

Bands For Geeks: Quest (instead of Journey), the Eagles (are coming), Starship (Hmm... not changing names here) and Elacor (Okay, we're an orchestra, but we're geeky enough, We love fantasy, scifi, videogames and musicals. That's why all of our music fits those genres.)

We are looking into the possibility of starting a multi-tiered subscription membership for Elacor's patrons and supporters through Patreon to help us raise money to put on a series of live shows featuring our music and some popular covers (like songs from "The Greatest Showman" or "Halo"). If you were able to support Elacor in this way, what are some benefits for membership that you would find valuable?
Shout out to Kathy Larson who did a beautiful job playing the Native American Flute in our featured track of the day When I Start All Over. Kathy is one of our section leaders and also plays the flute and piccolo on various tracks on the Take Flight album. Kathy also arranged one of the other songs on the album ("Stand") to fit our instrumentation. Well done!
