Despite temperatures in the high 80's, we had about 300 people in the audience, the largest crowd in the Salo Park series and about twice the usual number of audience members. For many audience members, this was their first exposure to the Roseville Big Band. The audience included composer Len Yaeger, who explained to the audience the meaning of the title of his composition, "Augie's Turn."
