Extra for the Weekend!

The Shepherd Maple Syrup Festival takes place this weekend. Saturday there will be a concert performed by the Central Michigan Area Concert Band at 6:30 PM in the Shepherd High School Auditorium. Mrs. Louisell and Mrs. Hofmeister play in this band. Check out this concert which features favorites like "Highlights from West Side Story," "The Stars and Stripes Forever," "Overture for Band," and "Peanut Vendor" as well as newer pieces like "Silver Quill March" and "Variations on the Kitchen Sink." (Yes, there is a kitchen sink played in that song.) The concert will last around an hour and is great way to spend part of your evening. Also, watch for Mrs. Louisell in the Central Michigan Strollers in the parade on Sunday. The Strollers will be the band wearing red shirts and riding on a trailer.
