The Pops! are coming, the Pops! are coming! In fact, by the time you read this, they may already be in town. I’m talking about the Monterey County Pops! Symphony Orchestra (and those are not typos, the name includes the exclamation point after Pops; er, Pops!) If you have no plans for this evening, then you can make to the King City High School Auditorium, the home of the Robert Stanton Stage, for this evening’s special Veterans Day performance. If you have plans for this evening, then you may want to cancel them and attend this honoring of our local veterans. As Ol’ Abe said in dedication of the nation’s first national cemetery, “It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.”
