Crycropia’s performance of “Kodama” was an absolute stunner with throngs of people attending on Family Night at the Orton Park Festival. Tonight is International Night featuring Sierra Leone’s Refugee All-Stars at 6 p.m., with a break between music sets at 7 p.m. for the MNA Auction, followed by the final festival peformance of Cycropia’s Kodama.
“I went last night. It was breathtaking, beautiful, thrilling-at times, jawdropping. As we used to say, back in the day, ‘It blew me away’, said Atwood resident Dan Melton after viewing Kodama. “When I shut my eyes to sleep last night, I had pictures of the performance swirling in my head. Still do, this morning.”
Dan advises folks to get there early with a blanket and try to find a spot just north of the basketball courts to get a possible lighting assist from the moon which may poke through the trees.
