The 2007 LGBA Conference, Silver in St. Louis, was a rousing success full of great performances, great fun and great friends.

From the Millennium Hotel to the Scottish Rite Cathedral, downtown St. Louis was overflowing with excitement. Everyone got dudded up at the Silver Ball Friday night for a great time with Doug Litwin's historical musings and with Boogie Chyld's funk on the dance floor.

The highlight of the weekend for many was the Silver in St. Louis concert as more than 250 musicians became one powerful mass band voice. With nearly 700 people standing and applauding as LGBA band banners paraded across the stage, chills and tears spread throughout the auditorium.
