Downtown Lima was all a buzz as thousands of students converged on the Veteran's Memorial Civic Center. It was the annual Young People's Concert performed by the Lima Symphony Orchestra. More than 3,000 students attended the event, where it was the first time some of them had ever heard an orchestra. Schools from around the region have made this an annual event for their kids.
