Vintage Brass at the Falls Park

Hello again.  Today is Sunday and I am walking about a 1/4 mile over to Falls Park. I've seen ads for "Vintage Brass in the Park."  This seems like the right sort of thing to do on a sunny Sunday afternoon. 

It's about 2:10 right now and about 80 degrees. (This actually occurred two months ago. I've had it in my post vault for a while.)  The concert runs from 2:30 to 4 p.m. 

Let's see what we find.   

Crossing the bridge to Falls Park.




This is the same Waikumete Stream that you met in the last post, but upstream.   







'Vintage Brass in the Park,' said the ad.  Here we are, and there they are.  





I guess the vintage part refers to the musicians. They are all seniors.  





They did a nice job. The theme of their concert was 'Music from the Movies.' They played well-known themes from an assortment of films. From Mary Poppins to James Bond 007



Services were there to help out on this hot afternoon. 

The medic wasn't needed thank goodness.  



On my way out, I passed the Falls Bistro, formerly the Falls Hotel, built in 1873.  The brickwork inside is really beautiful.  




Back home again. Our apartment's balcony is marked with the yellow arrow.      -djf

  1. What a lovely way to spend a gorgeous summer afternoon! It's the hats that really got my attention though - especially the almost identical vintage-style wide-brim fedoras of the band members!

    I'm surprised that not everyone is wearing a hat for sun protection - that medic is not setting a good example! LOL!
