Organ Rally 31 October 2010 in Long Beach, Calif.
By Lloyd Osmundson

Hi everyone,  Here's a little information about our recent organ
rally here in Southern California.  On a beautiful Sunday afternoon,
Halloween day, eleven monkey organs and band organs entertained
approximately 1500 adults and children at the Rancho Los Alamitos
Historic Gardens in Long Beach, California.

Members from Southern California Band Organs, consisting of chapter
members from AMICA and MBSI, brought organs manufactured in England,
Germany, France and USA.  They lined up on a route that was to be used
for the children's afternoon costume parade.  The music did not help
to keep the kids in anything that looked like an orderly line, but the
goal was really for everyone to have fun.

Another entertaining sight was a Cub Scout pack in their uniforms,
lined up eagerly waiting their turn to stand on a box to crank Gloria
Schack's Bruns flute organ.  Wish you all could have been there.
