Hey, way to go Kris and all!
hoping to see/hear some photos/video/audio of the big event….?
On Ensemble,
The Yobu concert was the best ever – and Diane and I have been to a lot of them (almost all). You had to be in the audience to know how great the sound was. It was even better than the Orange Co. theater(which was great as well). I am not sure how you improved every song, but you managed to do it.
The audience was really into it all the way. What a great crowd. No wonder you set a new record with the foundation team support.
Each one of you provided very special things for the event from your introductions, singing, flutes, drums, special effects and tremendous drumming. It is truly time for Hollywood and beyond for the On Ensemble!!
