Acker Music Festival
note: Acker Music Festival is an evening where about 80 groups / performers set up in the stores down town and play holiday music. Several thousand people come and wander from store to store.

I love performances like this, they are so much fun. We got to bank one a little early and had to move the orchestra three times before we could start. Because of the location, the audience surronded us on all sides. There was one man standing right behind me who kept looking over my shoulder at my music. Then he would tell his friend how good our concertmaster was. That was a little distraction. We only played for half an hour, but it was really fun!
