Our music director, John Caputo, was asked if he had ever wanted to mix two of his passions in life – music and table top gaming – together. This performance showcases John’s talents as a leader in both musical endeavors and being a dungeon master for Dungeon and Dragons sessions. He takes you on a story telling journey using the musical numbers the band plays as prompts and plot points. We had a wonderfully fun time watching this legend unfold in real time and join the characters in their saga.

Our concert, From Lullaby To Legends, went beautifully. Thank you, friends, for coming out! If you missed the performance we have recordings of the performance on our website. Take a listen. There is a video from the concert coming soon so keep an eye out!
