Saturday night we went to Milwaukee to see the Milwaukee Police Band. Kind of an orchestra pops concert thing. It's the oldest police band in the country, since 1898. Cindy's friends were officers and are heavily involved in the band. Karen joined the band over 40 years ago, and has been the director for more than 25. The concert was free, and at the Pabst Theater on a Saturday night, so they must have some funding.
I honestly didn't want to go, since that sort of thing doesn't interest me much, and I felt like I had more important things to do, but Cindy wanted to support her friends. The band did medleys of songs by Journey, Meat Loaf, Billy Joel and The Beatles. Let me tell you, as a huge fan of rock music, there are few bands Cindy likes less than Journey and Meat Loaf. After the intermission, they did three tunes as a jazz ensemble. This was more my thing, and I really liked the first one in particular. Too bad the two women behind me were chattering and laughing loudly.
The show was free and we had free parking, three blocks away at my office. It was 20°F, which doesn't seem like it should be very cold, but it was cold!
