Star Spangled Spectacular!

The Lima Pops Orchestra set the tone for the Independence Day holiday with its annual Star Spangled Spectacular. The orchestra performed a number of patriotic numbers, as well as Broadway and movie music, and the large audience who came to see the concert was entranced … as usual. This year, the orchestra was conducted by Maestro Brian Eads (below), who filled in for Maestro Crafton Beck, who is recuperating from surgery. (photos by Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
