A very special family-oriented event Friday night brought great live entertainment to the steps of City Hall, including, by popular demand, a triumphant return performance from the thundering Wilson Middle School Drum Corps, those adorable kids from the Robinson Park Tiny Tots Troupe; the Boys and Girls Club of Pasadena, and from Pasadena’s Afterschool Adventures Program.
Two dance troupes from the after-school program at Pasadena Unified School District performed with Pasadena singer Monet Bagneris, whose lyrical voice shared favorite Christmas tunes.
And, of course, the evening just wouldn’t have been complete without favorite local emcees, that Dynamic Duo of retired police Lt. Rodney “Rodney D” Wallace and Sgt. Glen Thompson of the Pasadena Police Department.
Of course, the two men of the hour were in attendance: Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek and, straight from the North Pole, Santa Claus himself.
