Just about arriving at intermission — here’s a look at the program. #jour200b

[Sadiyah Ali @SadiyahAli10]

Falcone mentioned the people who died in ‘71 (Chanel, Morrison), and the people who were born (Wahlberg, Tupac). He says he chooses music from people who lived and died and were born in a given year to “get a flavour of that year in history”. #jour200b

Falcone: “1971 was a real turning point year for the country, and I often go through years in history and pick out music written during those times to build a program around. Hence, our program being called 1971.” #jour200b

Performers are adjusting their masks as they play their parts. When they are not, the mask is on. Falcone is also masked up. #jour200b

The performance is mostly woodwinds, something Tony Falcone and I talked about when we spoke for LJS article during the height of the pandemic. During that time, Falcone was conducting practices over Zoom. He’s been w UNL over 20 years. #jour200b https://t.co/czGLnVvNKI

Audience members are choosing their seats as the band tune up and chatter with each other before the show. #jour200b

Come along with me to the UNL Symphonic Band Performance at Kimball Recital Hall, where Anthony Falcone, is conducting one few in person performance since the start of the pandemic. T-minus 7 minutes! #unlsymphonicband #jour200b

@i_bodhisattva This was part of the funeral procession for investigator Mario Herrera who passed away from a gunshot wound this past week.

[Sadiyah Ali @SadiyahAli10]

Here a video from the start of the motorcade, with Herrera’s urn close behind.

Crowd of people bulked up as the procession passed by.

Still, cop cars are following the Herrera procession.

Traffic on the other side of the road is at a standstill as Herrera and his procession pass by 27th and O.
