Both the local Comcast people and the Daily Hampshire Gazette were present at the inauguration on Tuesday. We sang (even though it was a snow day). But it's ok! Besides a wonderful breakfast made for us by Patti, we got some sweet press coverage! Here's the small blurb from the Gazette:
"On a day when many of the city's newly elected officials received handshakes and warm rounds of applause, the biggest ovations came for the Northamptones, an a cappella group from Northampton High School that captivated the audience. More than a few city officials could be seen rocking side to side in their seats on stage as they sang.
"'Are you sure these aren't professionals dressed up as kids?' [Senator] Rosenberg joked at one point."
In the evening we were also on TV! I guess good things come to those who show up on snow days. We were sure to thank the superintendent for the day off!
