The City of Fairfax Old Town and Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department hosted an evening under the stars with music by the Legacy Brass Quintet on Friday Sept. 12.
Terry Bradley of Fairfax, a retired Army officer, led the Legacy Brass Quintet's performance at the Plaza Friday evening. Playing with Terry Bradley were his two sons, Christopher on trombone and Daniel on tuba. Also playing were Alan Cole on French horn, Scott Firestone on trumpet and John Phillip Schmidt on drums. All are members of the City of Fairfax Band Association (www.fairfaxband.org). Bradley has been playing music since he was 10 years old.
The City of Fairfax Old Town Plaza was filled with couples and children enjoying the beautiful weather while eating outside at the restaurants located at the Old Town Plaza. Children danced as the band played a number of hits.
In attendance were John and Kathy Flahive of Fairfax. John Flahive is the President and CEO of the City of Fairfax Band Association. According to him, the City of Fairfax Parks and Recreation Department sponsors the plaza concerts and the City of Fairfax Band Association sends four or five ensembles to play during the summer to help bring people together at various City of Fairfax events. This year the City of Fairfax Band will be celebrating its 45th anniversary.
