The 2009 Fan Club Convention took place in Paris and Chantilly
from September 11 to 14. It was a huge success - simply
magnifique thanks to our organiser Francis Charrière. The
itinerary included a visit to the Chateau of Chantilly, a horse
show, a river cruise dinner by night on the river Seine, passing
the lit Eiffel Tower and many other places of interest, a visit to
Montmarte, Champs Elysées and much more. THE highlight of
the Convention, however, was a concert on Saturday afternoon
by the orchestra, in which Francis plays trombone. It was titled
HOMMAGE À RAY CONNIFF, and began with a tune titled
“Fanfare for Conniff Fans” - written by Perry La Marca. On
Sunday the song was practised and taped by the participants,
who came from the USA, Russia, England, Wales, Belgium, the
Netherlands, Spain and Germany.
