Kurt Lockhardt and the musicans are amazing and ever so talented. We enjoyed the new twist with adding the Five By Design group. We have attended the Pops in years past at Webster Bank Arena, but this year we were shocked at poor attendence, I believe there was very little PR done, compared to years past. Also, it adds up quickly, $50 per ticket, once you pay processing fee and then you get hit with $15 fee to park...no, not valet parking or anything special, $15 per car just seemed outrageous to us and could steer folks away.
