Astrograss Brings Bluegrass To Carroll Park

Astrograss

Simmi Degnemark, Event Organizer,
Committee To Improve Carroll Park

Oh, what fun the littlest Carroll Gardeners had In Carroll Park on Sunday afternoon!

Rocking, swaying and be-bopping around to the fabulously danceable bluegrass music of Astrograss, the kids obviously enjoyed every minute of this season's first event in the 2009 Carroll Park Kids' Concert series.

Excitement mounted visibly as the band set up around the monument in the center of the park. Squeals of delight could be heard as the members of Astrograss tuned their instrument and ran through some last minute sound-checks.

And then...as the concert began in earnest and the band launched into its first song, many joyful kids jumped to their feet.
Some danced solo, some joined hands with a best friend. Some shy little ones preferred to watch from the safety of a parent's lap. But all enjoyed the delightfully clever lyrics and happy tunes
of Astrograss.

A big round of applause goes to the series' organizer, Simmi Degnemark of the Committee To Improve Carroll Park, who has worked so very hard to bring such joy to so many children. The

The music series continues with :
