Gonzo exposes staff talent

(story continued)

and became a mass of swaying dancers. The first act wrapped up with Bruce Tabb playing an aria from Gluck's "Orpheo ed Euridice" on his new golden flute, followed by Tim and Barbara Jenkins and their son singing Caribbean songs while Tim provided guitar accompaniment.

The second act began with a group of lovely dancers, the Belles of the Branle (Leslie Bennett, Erica Rivera, Liesl Vorderstrasse, Heather Ward and Aimee Yogi). Donning colorful handmade flower headpieces the group danced four dances – the "Branle Burgundy," "Horse’s Branle," "Montarde" and "Tordion". Next up, in 50's attire, Lori Robare and her talented teenaged daughter Libby tap-danced to “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” The final acts included trumpeter Neil Wilson playing “Prayer of Saint Gregory” by Alan Hovanhess, Ben Farrell playing Three Dances from "Henry VIII" by Edward German on keyboard and Victoria Mitchell wowing us with her talents as an operatic soprano by singing "Una voce poco fa" from Rossini's "The Barber of Seville." And with that, yet another Gonzo came to a close. Until next year…
