Amy and Connie make music for book signing of Amy's book, The Lakeside Symphony Comes to Town

LSO flutists Connie Alleshouse and Amy Heritage provide duo music for a book signing in Lakeside, August 2014

Link to book's web site: http://lsocomestotown.com/

About The Book 

"Every year on a Saturday in late July, a symphony orchestra comes to Lakeside. Seventy-five musicians bring trumpets, flutes, drums, violins - all the instruments of the orchestra - and Lakeside fills with music."

Written by Lakeside Symphony flutist Amy Heritage and richly illustrated by artist Eleanor A. Hutton, The Lakeside Symphony Comes to Town is an affectionate portrayal of the musicians of the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra and the town that is their summer home. Lakesiders and music lovers young and old will treasure this playful story about the musicians of the orchestra who come together each summer at Lakeside Chautauqua on the shores of Lake Erie.

Proceeds from sales of The Lakeside Symphony Comes to Town benefit the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra.

About The Author

Author Amy Heritage joined the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra as principal flutist in 2002. She returns to Lakeside each summer, bringing with her an ever-widening circle of extended family.

Like many Lakesiders, Amy often finds herself telling the story of this special place to those who have never visited. Amy is grateful to her friend, Toledo artist Eleanor Hutton, whose watercolor images beautifully depict this town of sunshine, nostalgia, families, and music. Amy hopes their book will bring new visitors to Lakeside and to Lakeside Symphony concerts. For those who already love Lakeside, Amy hopes the book will be a memento to treasure during long winter months as they count down the days to another summer at the lake.

When she is not at Lakeside Chautauqua, Amy lives in Toledo, Ohio with her husband and son and their dogs Maggie and Lucy. She plays flute in the Toledo Symphony, an orchestra with its own stories and history.

The Lakeside Symphony Stands With Jon Waters

If you haven't heard about the unfair firing (in late July) of Jon Waters, OSU Marching Band director of less than two years and considered by many across the country to be the best marching band director in the US, you might want to do some Googling on him. Jon is originally from Elmore (31 mi. west of Lakeside), home of the Woodmore High School band (which he no doubt played in at one time), which has been having their band camp in Lakeside as long as I can remember. I've watched those kids many times walking past my cottage on 6th St. with their instruments to the practice field and heard them practicing for many years.

I read someplace where Jon worked in Lakeside for nine years, part of that time, I know, under Joe Caner in the recreation department. The Caners can't speak highly enough of him. Recently the Port Clinton city council, after listening to the Port Clinton High School band director, passed a resolution supporting Jon Waters. I believe the Elmore city council had done the same, and many people have placed signs in their windows supporting him.

Jon is probably the most innovative band director anywhere. You can see some of the band's marching formations on YouTube. He is no doubt one of the first to make extensive use of technology to create some incredible programs. His firing has created a lot of uproar among band alumni, other OSU alumni and other supporters all over the country, and there have been major efforts under way to get Waters reinstated. The online petition, which I hope you will sign (use the link at the top), has garnered thousands of signatures. The last figure I saw was 12,600, and that was at least ten days ago, so it's higher than that by now. Some major donors to the university are currently reconsidering their gifts to OSU. 

Many feel that the investigation by OSU was poorly done and misquoted/misrepresented members of the band. Those members most highly publicized wasted no time in coming forward to make their truthful position known, but the new president of OSU and the Board of Trustees refuse to budge, even to allow Jon Waters so much as a hearing to clear his good name in this mess.

I was privileged to play a number of indoor concerts with the OSUMB over several years before and after 2000, and was highly impressed with the caliber of those 225 kids. Every time, I saw only a very high level of musicianship, discipline, integrity and spirit. And they were only too glad to move my harp for me -- swiftly and with smiles and kid gloves. I was honored to be adopted by the sousaphone section (which required me to play a quick solo on the concert).

Anyway, I hope you will see fit to sign the online petition, whether you have any connection with Ohio State or not. It doesn't matter. Jon Waters deserves the support of anyone and everyone who calls him/herself a musician, not to mention those who support good music. I would love to contact Jon and let him know the Lakeside Symphony stands behind him. I think it would mean a lot to him (no, I don't know him personally). If anyone objects, please let me know.

Many thanks --
