The Mikado 2006

July 15, 16, 2006

The concert weekend was intensely hot with the temperatures hovering around 100 degrees Fahrenheit.  For the first time ever, Jere Lantz agreed to allow the men to wear shorts, instead of the traditional long black pants for the concert.  The men were deeply grateful for the concession!
