First Fridays at Greenville Library...
Lunch on the
Lawn a great time
A joint effort by the library, Main Street Greenville and the Coffee Pot
By Elaine Bailey
JR Price, director for the Greenville High School Orchestra, was
delighted to see a large number of alumni in the audience at the Lunch
on the Lawn.
“I can’t remember the last time we did this,” he said. “In fact, I
don’t think we have ever performed an outdoor summer concert.
This is a tremendous turnout.”
As the young musicians played a variety of numbers from classical to
country, the audience enjoyed box lunches prepared by The Coffee Pot or
a BYO. Main Street Greenville, an organization committed to
stimulating and supporting revitalization efforts, historic
preservation and economic growth in historic downtown Greenville, The
Coffee Pot, and the Greenville Public Library joined together to
provide Lunch on the Lawn, the first activity of the day for what has
become a summer tradition… First Fridays.
The Greenville Public Library composed a pleasant setting with books
and floral arrangements adorning covered tables and white paper
lanterns that swayed almost in time with the music. A generous
donation on behalf of the Friends of the Library was presented to JR
Price for the group’s effort to raise funds for a trip to Orlando,
Florida in December. JR explained that the orchestra would
perform at Disney World. While in Disney, the students will
participate in professional entertainment workshops.
The orchestra will also provide music for a Luncheon with Santa, a
philanthropic event sponsored by the Hard Rock Café Orlando. Over
100 meals will be served to disadvantaged children. The
invitation to participate was extended to the Greenville High School
Orchestra, and it will be the first time ever for live music to be
performed for the event.
