October’s significance as Filipino American History Month is due to the
first recorded presence of Filipinos in the continental United States when
on October 18, 1587, “Luzones Indios” came ashore from the Spanish galleon
Nuestra Senora de Esparanza and landed at what is now Morro Bay, California.
In November of 2009, both the United States House of Representatives and
Senate passed laws – House Resolution 780 and Senate Resolution 298
respectively, officially recognizing October as Filipino American History
Month in the United States.

Pops Groovin' in the '60s.
The Livermore-Amador Symphony Guild presents Pops concerts at which the audiences can enjoy light classical symphonic and pops music in a casual setting. After many years at “the Barn” in Livermore, since 2010 the Pops venue has been the ballroom of the Livermore community center.
Robert Livermore Community Center,
4444 East Avenue, Livermore
The audience sits at round tables in the Cresta Blanca Room at the Robert
Livermore Community Center. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the concert begins at
8 p.m. Food may be brought in but no drinks; wine, beer, and soft drinks are
sold as part of this fundraiser for the Symphony.
The Livermore-Amador Symphony provides the music at Pops, with vocal
soloists and a few audience sing-alongs. Many in the audience bring
something to eat, from snacks to group potluck meals to elaborate dinners.
(Beverage sales at Pops support the Symphony.) Members of the audience (and
of the orchestra) are encouraged to wear costumes in keeping with the theme.
(Usually about half the audience and almost the entire orchestra come in
costume.) Each concert has a theme (like 2002’s “POPS on Broadway,” 1995’s
“POPS Plays the ’40s,” or 2003’s “POPS—Dreams of California”).

a thousand times, but never like this. Then, in Trio of One, the highly

Music and Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda | Book by Quiara Alegría Hudes | Conceived By Lin-Manuel Miranda
Winner of the 2008 Tony Award for Best Musical. Welcome to the kind of
musical that comes around once in a generation. A musical that builds on the
best traditions of theatre while forging into fresh new territory. A musical
about the importance of home, family and finding where you belong.
IN THE HEIGHTS tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New
York's Washington Heights neighborhood - a place where the coffee from the
corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze
carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It's a community on the
brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest
struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones
you leave behind. IN THE HEIGHTS is the winner of the 2008 Tony Awards for
