The evening will also include cocktails, dinner, and a silent auction featuring more than 200 items ranging from hotel stays and premium wines to dinners at local restaurants and exotic gift items. Local Stars to Dance Once again this year, five local “stars” will take to the dance floor to showcase their skills. This year’s dancers include Dr. Bob Bourne, MD; Kyle Champion; Al Hernandez; Jackie Meyer; and Margie Orland. Family and friends of the dancers can show their support by voting for them. Each vote costs $1, and all of the proceeds support the Symphony’s music education programs for local children and the orchestra’s concert season. Tickets to the Gala are $125 per person or $150 per person for premium seating adjacent to the dance floor. Tickets may be reserved until May 27 by calling the Symphony office at (909) 748-8018. Supporters don’t have to attend the Gala to vote for their favorite dancer—votes may be cast online at www.redlandssymphony.com/gala or by calling the Symphony office.
