DESCRIPTION:
GLASSMEN and La Vaillante marched together through the streets of downtown Saint Quentin to the beautiful Saint Quentin Basilica, where they performed a combined concert in the basilica park at sundown. La Vaillante took the stage first, with director Bernard Feignier conducting. Everyone in the crowd was dancing along, and a few of the GLASSMEN even started in singing. Then it was time for the GLASSMEN to perform - and they wowed the crowd with their huge brass sound, and percussion reverberating around the basilica square.

The reaction was incredible - people squeezed in closer to be right up next to the corps. A few brave souls ventured into the drumline arc for some close-up shots. The crowd couldn't get enough! They were like rock stars - and the crowd kept chanting for more! And that's what they got - the GLASSMEN played through the new DCI Fanfare, the closer from last year's New World Symphony production, the entire 2006 production of Beethoven: Mastery and Madness.
