The DiSanto family celebrated the Confirmation of their son Alessandro and Just Friends was privileged to play for the reception at the Hershey Convention Center. Among the many highlights of the day was the opportunity to be photographed with the confirmand and Bishop Kevin Rhoades.
Alessandro also plays trumpet with the Bishop McDevitt Jazz Band and sat in with Just Friends for two songs, "Blue Skies" and "In the Midnight Hour." He had poise and tone that you would never expect from an eighth grade student, and of course he had the crowd in his pocket -- just like Mark's hands in the picture with the bishop. (Got 'ya, Mark.)
Thanks to a men's worship breakfast being held in the ballroom before the reception, we had the use of some pretty cool lights and a mildly psychedelic backdrop, as shown here with Gio and Parker:
There are other photos and highlights of the day, including the food which was as good as it gets, and the chance to play some of our Italian standards and pop favorites, but I've got to go do my pesky day job right now. I'll just say that overall, yesterday was the kind of party that Just Friends was made for, and a whole lot of fun. Thanks again to the DiSanto family for allowing us to be a part of this happy and blessed occasion. Next: the tuxes go to the cleaners to prepare for the Foxhunters Ball at the Harrisburg Country Club this Saturday.
