CONCERT SEASON 2009 - 2010Welcome to the 14th season of The Panama City POPS, Bay County's very own orchestra! Join us for an exciting 2009 - 2010 concert season filled with the high quality music our audiences have grown to love, infused with an element of fun found only at The POPS. Next up - "To Our Heroes" featuring a musical salute to all of the brave men and women who have served and are serving in our military. We’re proud to pay homage to our troops and their families. It’s classical Americana, the Panama City POPS way. Join us to say thank you to our heroes. PARIS JANOS WINS THE FIRST ANNUAL BATTLE OF BATONS!On Saturday, January 16, it was 'wand warfare' on stage as The Panama City POPS presented "Battle of the Batons" to a great turnout at Arnold High School Auditorium. The first annual fundraiser of its kind, the concert featured The POPS’ traditional program of classical and popular musical selections, but with a twist. The concert was a fundraiser for the orchestra, where three local luminaries vied for the opportunity to conduct the final work of the night’s program. Each tried out on stage prior to the intermission, following which the audience voted for their favorite conductor. Each vote cost $1.00. The competition was fierce! Contenders Jimmy Patronis of Capt. Anderson’s, WJHG's Morning Anchor Paris Janos, and Jim Hayden, owner of The Bagel Maker each gave a fantastic performance. Adding to the uniqueness of the evening was the presentation of a very special hand-carved baton to each conductor. The batons were the gift of Mr. Bruce Goldflies, father of orchestra member David Goldflies. Season tickets and individual tickets are also on sale now here or by calling (850) 785-POPS (7677). Individual tickets for all concerts at Arnold High School may also be purchased at Cher’s Hallmark, Lynn Haven and Panama City Beach, and Paul Brent Gallery, downtown Panama City. Want more info?
