Show -N E W S- Spanish Fork A6 • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2008 Covering what matters most Hilarie Orm'an / Spanish Fork News TRIBUTE: The Nebo Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Benjamin Winkler, perform at Woodland Hills Day in honor of the city's veterans. Nebo Philharmonic honors veterans Hilarie Orman STAFF WRITER Saturday morning on Sept. 13, 2008 was slightly chilly, as Woodland Hills residents lined up for breakfast in the park. Some had just finished the bike/run/ walk race, while some had just arrived. Settling down to their hash browns, sausage, and pancakes, they watched musicians in formal attire unpacking trombones, violins, bass, drums and all manner of other shiny, polished instruments. The grill sizzled, local dignitar- ies served food and the musicians warmed up limbs and instruments in the clear mountain air. Maestro Benjamin Winkler conducted the Nebo Philharmonic in a program of rousing patriotic music including the "Washington Post March," by John Phillip Souza, the you-cannot-stop-yourself-fromfoot-stomping "Trompeten Echo," by Slavko Asvenik, Winkler's own Barra Dorada March, and the immortal "can-can" from "Orpheus in the Underworld," by Offenbach, a teaser for the orchestra's fall performance schedule. There was a sustained drum roll as the color guard brought in the flags, the crowd recited the Pledge of Allegiance and the orchestra played a lively arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner. The morning ceremony of Woodland Hills Day honored the cityVveterans. Byron Adams was the announcer, and he had put hours of research into finding as many of those in the city who had served in the military as he could. By word of mouth, National Guard records and by hook and by crook, he collected an impressive list for the crowd to applaud: MacBaldwin, Garry Cox, Jack Marshall, Lee Finley, Bill Dunaway, Bill Collins, Vern Gilmore, Reyn Belliston, Tom Hyatt, Bunnie German, Quentin German, Mike Robbins, Randal Gibb, Dalton Wright, David Walters, Rueben Badger, Shane Hill, David Peterson, Nick Pray, Grant Elger, Bert Wanless and Ron Parry. As the sun came up over the hills, the light caught the brass instruments and backlit the orchestra as the musicians, lit into the Armed Services Medley and sent many familiar military march strains through the pavilion. Some of the orchestra lingered for more breakfast, and city officials and Winkler indicated pleasure with initial foray of the orchestra into Woodland Hills. The large meeting room in the long-anticipated city community center is an obvious choice for small ensembles, Winkler mentioned. Mayor Toby Harding said he looked forward to seeing the orchestra at the 30th Woodland Hills Day in 2009. Salem to ban smoking Ventures recognized Mallory Byrnes you for your approval."
