Last night's concert?

Last night we went to see the South Florida Philharmonic Orchestra play. VERY disappointed! It was suppose to start at 6:00 PM. The place it was held at was the Hollywood Performing Arts Center. FINALLY at 7:15 PM an ensemble (5 people) came on, OK . . . not the orchestra but they were OK. They played about half an hour. An announcement was made saying they needed to get the stage ready for the orchestra. At 8:15 PM still nothing! The curtain opened and we were expecting an orchestra, with strings and the whole nine yards! To us it looked like a Ricky Riccardo band setting up! I kid you not. They were fiddling with this and that, getting things ready and there were still band members walking in. We had enough, so we left. On our way out there were still members of the band walking in. It really would have been nice to know this was, "hey, whenever you all get there we will play!" Oh, I neglected to tell you we had not eaten dinner yet. That might have been why I was also ready to leave.
