I'm a Lowell Alumni Class of '93. Throughout my 4 years at Lowell, I was a member of the Lowell Orchestra. For one of those years, I had the pleasure of having Jack Pereira as a teacher/conductor. Mr. Pereira is one of those teachers you never forget. He was a great teacher & conductor. I never knew he & the orchestra of '70 traveled to Osaka & attended the Expo. What an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing this video!
