"On Saturday, April 28th Minnehaha Academy filled the halls with fantasy and music. A special moment in the evening came when Miss Lelia Foote stood before the band which included many of her former students and conducted Colonel Boogey, her trademark piece. This upbeat number is a crowd pleaser and when the band stood up for the finish, the audience began clapping to the beat. The moment should have lasted longer as the band was crisp, lively and sharp. A stunning performance! One could feel the momentum of the evening quickly changing from listening to joining in; something that Miss Foote is know for…" – written by a proud alumni band member.
President Wilber Westerdahl congratulated Lelia Foote when her band was invited by the Queen of the Lakes to represent Minneapolis at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. Photos from the 2005 Pops Concert are below:
We have captured a few of the evening's memories in the Alumni Photo Album. Be sure to browse thru other album photos after you enjoy reliving the 2005 Pops Concert. |
