The Awesome Apollo Band Members

The incredible Mrs. Brenda Corral-Smith is pictured above as she conducted the Apollo band at the Mr. Holland Opus Award ceremony held on Thursday December 13, 2007.

"It was an incredible site"! There was a stage-full of new music instruments hidden behind the curtain, as the band performed at the Holland Opus / Fidelity Investments award ceremony. With a drum-roll the curtain opened and 6 members of the Houston Symphony were standing behind the new instruments. There was incredible gasps by the band members, and even tears, when they saw the stage .
