Union Local 38-398 Pops onto Rye Village Green
We are not talking about plumbers and carpenters. They were not there to install a new drainage system in preparation for the next 100 year flood or to fix the damage to the children’s reading room at the Rye Free Library.
Local 38-398, AKA the Musicians Association of Westchester County Local, make up the Westchester Pops Band. Under the direction of former Ardsley High School music teacher and conductor Joseph Greco, the band celebrated Independence Day a few days early with a concert on the Village Green this past Sunday, July 1st at 6pm.
The 200 plus crowd of Rye citizens enjoyed a varied program with a solid July 4th theme including America the Beautiful, Armed Forces Salute and The Stars and Stripes Forever.
