The afternoon was a wonderful experience, and many people have sent feedback to say how much they enjoyed the event.
Much of the success of the day was down to the weather. After two days of nearly-continuous rain, the sun shone and the air was warmer.
The concert played to a full house. The most joyful moment of the day was when the percussion instruments came out for the last two movements of David and Goliath. Claves, a drum, handbells, and marraccas were all well-received, but the item that really delighted people was the triangle.
The final result from the fundraising drive was $850.00. Thanks to the generosity of the following donors, the organ hire, removal, and tuning have been more than covered.
