The Summer Concert Series: Music in the Meadows

Silhouettes in Summer

Every dogs' tail wagged to the groovy, summery beat of Dotsero, a contemporary jazz band, as they played their annual concert at Butterfield Park in The Meadows of Castle Rock. The sun hovered over the layers of the expansive Rocky Mountain Range silhouettes while the cool yet still enjoyable wind toyed with each toddlers' thin hair. A more idyllic scene couldn't credibly appear in a Hollywood movie and yet it was the reality for the Castle Rock residents who took advantage of Wednesday's wonderful free concert in the park.

It seems that in Castle Rock there is still a rhythm where four year olds barrel towards soccer balls only to stop suddenly, barely nudging the ball. A place where gangly nine year old girls travel in threes, conspiring in the secretive way that only nine year old girls do. A place where parents enjoy a bit of rest and conversation on the soft, emerald grass as their kids dance, run, skate, bike, and skip with complete abandonment to a modern jazz beat. The Summer Concert series in the Meadows is certainly a lovely place to be. Thanks to the sponsors who made it possible.

The Meadows is a great community located on the West side of 1-25, just west of the Outlet Mall. The Meadows is comprised of newer and brand new home subdivisions with bike paths and open space separating the houses. Oakland Homes and Lennar Homes in Red Hawk are still active in new construction. The Meadows creates a community feel with a modern version of the old fashion granges that used to populate rural communities. The Grange offers fun classes for kids and adults, music performances and art shows, craft fairs, and in the summer, 2 great swimming pools. Many young families chose The Meadows as the place to call home.
