Why aren't locally sourced bands like Flashback ( all village residents, 8 piece band ) featuring Dawn DiNome (local diva personality) limited to one SRO performance in the last year? BTW they are performing at Sumter Landing bandstand this Friday!

(Note to entertainment committee/person: How about a classical music evening? There are many quartets that would love to play for our citizens. We have some tremendously talented resident performers that would gladly donate their performance to a worthy charity.)
Since we started going to the Squares last August we have never had a night that we didn't enjoy. I never say it but I always think about exactly where we would be if we were in Jorsey, watching television most likely. We actually like Country Music now. But your correct they do play it a whole lot.
