1st Orchestra Rehearsal Paralympics 2006-10-04
Atlanta, Georgia, 1996 15 August and the orchestra for the Paralympic Games meets for the first time to have a read through of the music. Most of it was originally written for the event by Bill who was the Musical Director for the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
60 musicians, many from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the rest from other professionals in the community are hired to play for the Opening Ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games.
It was an exciting day as it was the first time the producer of the Opening Ceremonies Ken Chapman was to hear the music. If there were any changes that needed to be made they needed to be done then and there because the next afternoon was the dress rehearsal at the Olympic Stadium followed that evening with the Opening Ceremonies!
This international event had only two rehearsals and then a performance by some very wonderful and professional musicians. It was a night to remember! Back to 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games
