The HodgePodge Orchestra

Before & After
Music at McClellan is more than just the fine music of the ASO,
it is laughter and entertainment in the park both before and after.
This week Ron & Joel Anglin return
to wow audiences with their juggling skills; Jim
Marsh returns to bring his touch of bluegrass as wandering minstrel;
mimes will be directing traffic; and TAD
of Jazz returns after the orchestra with cool jazz until midnight.
Appearing for the first time in Longleaf Park will be the Hodgepodge
Orchestra, a quintet performing an original style of music that
blends jazz, funk, world music and popular tunes into an aural alchemy.
Look for them from 6:15 to 7:30 pm on the small stage. It promises
to be a full evening with music for every taste.
