Our second free community concert of the summer was held at MIFD on Saturday, July 11th and featured some wonderful America250 events and the music of The Police/Sting cover band Synchronicity. Attendees heard young Patriot Fynn Grills read aloud the Declaration of Independence, voted for their favorite signer and had the opportunity to sign a copy of the Declaration– if they dared. And many did!
Callyn Gropper hung the historic flags, Fynn led the crowd in the Pledge, Quentin Palifka sang the National Anthem and Gail Lynch-Bailey introduced the band, who played The Police & Sting’s greatest hits for two hours nonstop! Maria Cordaro’s team from Surge/Quantum provided popcorn and giveaways and Middle Island Civic the red, white and blue momentos and pocket Declaration/Constitutions.
The weather was perfect on this evening made possible via the Suffolk County Omnibus Grant Program. Many thanks to our co sponsors SC Legislator Chad Lennon and staff, and our wonderful hosts the Middle Island Fire Department and District. Mark your calendars for our final concert coming up on Saturday, August 22nd.
