Letter: Grand Illumination was Wonderful

December 16, 2018 by Leave a Comment

This note was sent to the Mirror by Marlene Cree.

We attended the Grand Illumination last night in Central Park and just wanted to comment on how lovely it was !  Despite the rain the show definitely went on ! 

Actually, the rain enhanced the reflections on the lighted golf carts in the Parade which is a delightful and unique “Cape Charles Thing”.

But the Tidewater Concert Band was the star of the evening, playing all our Christmas favorites. I remember that for many years when Chris Bannon was the Master of Ceremonies that music was a hallmark of the Illumination.

Then for whatever reason that essentially disappeared.  Having the Concert Band was a great decision, kudos to those who arranged it.  I hope that having the Band at the Illumination each year could become a new Cape Charles tradition, great for kids and adults alike.
