From HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF GRAND RAPIDS
The last program for the season of the “Rhythm on the River” arts series in Grand Rapids will be presented on Sunday, Oct. 5, from 4 – 5 p.m. The annual meeting of the Grand Rapids Historical Society, who sponsors the concerts, will precede the program, at 3:30 p.m., and all society members are urged to attend. Immediately following that meeting, the Otsego show choir and the Otsego High School band will perform. This program is sponsored by Downey Plumbing Heating Cooling Electric.
The Otsego choirs and bands have earned high ratings at Ohio Music Educators’ Association competitions. The directors of these organizations are Olivia Schaffer and Rebecca Schwartzkopf. This program is one of the first performances of the show choir for the school year, and the band will perform highlights from their football halftime show.
The “Rhythm” programs are held in the M.J. Wright Pavilion, located on the towpath between the canal and the Maumee River, at the end of Lincoln Street. The concert is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs or blankets for seating. Refreshments will be available during the afternoon. In the case of inclement weather, the program will be moved to the old fire station.
