Pop Music and Symphony Orchestrations

Should it be symphonic? I don't really need to know since I don't really care that much, but I just want to make sure that those of you who are more anal retentive than I am know that I debated that.

Last night I went to Fishers, Indiana. It was a spur of the moment trip to see this girl:
The one and only Rach McF. Love her. You may remember her from the last time I was in Fishers at Conner Prairie.
CP is the location of the really cool, totally amazing, brilliantly beautiful Symphony on the Prairie featuring the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. They [no, I don't know exactly who "they" is/are] began composing the orchestrations for this concert last February. The concert was benefitting Outreach, Inc. which is an agency in Indianapolis working with homeless teenagers and young adults.
The concert was amazing. Uh-may-zzzzz-ing.

Yeah, that's an overly cropped picture with a bunch of lust-filled women 
standing at the stage gazing as Jon McL sings and plays the piano. 

Reasons why I loved this concert:
1. Chellooo--totally makes what could potentially be a pretentious orchestra concert accessible by young people, couples, older people, families, toddlers, basically...EVERYONE.
2. I quite enjoy Jon McLaughlin's music and have for several years now, I don't have his newest album yet, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE Indiana.
3. People bring their own food, laugh, chatter and enjoy themselves without the usual concert etiquette. [Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the etiquette, but I also enjoy a good conversation while I'm listening to music.]
4. We were outside and the weather was perfection.
5. Pop singer/songwriter music + orchestration = perfection
[6. Free tickets since Rach McF works there.]

Rach and I started out by chowing on some dinner followed by Oreos. Orange Halloween Oreos.
And even though Rach always ends up with the ridiculous "I'm eating food and look ridiculous" pictures, I should say that I generally look worse since we're constantly trying to one-up one another. It's just that I have the camera and she doesn't. Mah-ha-ha-ha-ha.

As the light went down it just got more and more beautiful.


Oh yeah, and this guy? He's totally taking a picture with his phone through one lens of his binoculars. Does this actually work?


Here's a video--the balance of the band and orchestra aren't stellar since the person filming is basically sitting on the edge of the stage--but you get the idea:


So the only thing I'm left wanting is a recording of this performance. Where do I get it?
 
Orchestral pop is the new black.

Final thought: this would be the *PERFECT* first date. Feel free to recommend this to all the single men you know who should ask me out. [Of course, I think the season is basically over now...]
