Concerts in the Park Return

The Concerts in the Park returned Sunday for the 2014 season, and might’ve been the largest crowd yet.

Perennial performer Rebecca McCabe performed again this year, with the backing of the very cool local group, the Human Country Jukebox. The crowd (ok, mostly just the kids) were up and dancing throughout the show. The rest of the crowd, which GM will roughly estimate at a couple hundred, took in the show with picnics, supplemented with a free ice cone, or two.

Of course it didn’t take a bunch of frozen high fructose corn syrup to get the kids going absolutely nuts (ok, mostly just the girls) over McCabe’s sing-along version of the hit Disney song “Let it Go”. GM’s got a daughter himself, but has luckily avoided this song, which apparently has an effect on children roughly equivalent to crack cocaine. So many kids loaded the stage to belt out the tune that GM was genuinely concerned that the stage might collapse. Happily the only bad thing that happened was that GM got the song stuck in his head all day.

The Concerts in the Park are truly when the small town side of Georgetown comes out. If you missed it Sunday, you can still catch the concerts on June 15th (again at Volta Park) and July 13th (at Rose Park). See you there!
