The two Chinese orchestras were formed about three years ago. There are about 26 members in CDR Chinese orchestra and 15 members in BBM orchestra. Membership might increase or decrease as time passes. It has been a tradition that the two orchestras combined to perform. This gives the rare opportunity for the lay people from two different places to contact, interact, and help each other. Within last three years, they had combined to perform many times, including three Honoring Elders Days in CDR, once each for the Independence Day in Ukiah, and at CDR, four times for various celebrations at BBM, twice at CTTB for Mother鈥檚 Day and Parent鈥檚 Day, and once at Gold Mountain Monastery on Honoring Elders Day. Other than that, the CDR Chinese orchestra very often has interaction with the local community. They had performed at Convalescence Home, Charity Fair, Old Folks Home, and Sacramento Chinese New Year Celebration. This opens up a way of interaction between CDR and the community. | |
