Beyond the Wakefields

Singing

As our opening event of the summer reading program, we hosted Draco and the Malfoys (with special guest Justin Finch-Fletchly and the Sugar Quills). I would highly recommend having a wizard rock concert at your library. It is a fairly easy program to put on and attracts a lot of attention. Draco and the Malfoys were easy to work with and very talented too. I had seen them before and knew it would be a great way to start off a very Harry Potter summer.

The band brought their own sound equipment and we only had to provide a stage and an extension cord. With help from the Mayor’s Office and DPW, we blocked off the street outside the library and had a party. A bunch of the teens who had registered for the program attended which was great - since they were the target audience - and we had about 125 people total. The predicted rain managed to stay away the whole afternoon.

Feel free to contact me or comment if you want more specific information on this program.
