How can a youth orchestra celebrate a 60th anniversary, you ask?

With music, of course.

The City of Belfast Youth Orchestra swung through town on Saturday, entertaining guests at the Morristown United Methodist Church.

Presumably, these are different youths than the ones who started the band six decades ago with (now) Sir James Galway.

(If they’re the same ones, we want their secret formula– they look as great as they sound!)

Our thanks to sharpshooter Dave Sullivan for the marvelous video and photos.
