bob boudreau's busted windows

At 93, Robert Boudreau still has dreams, but first he has to find the vandals that smashed the glass doors of his outdoor stage.

Robert Boudreau discovered damage to his outdoor stage earlier this year after he began working to resurrect the American Wind Symphony Orchestra, a musical group that traveled the world for many years, performing with Bourdeau as its maestro.

Designed by architect Albert Filoni, the wood and stone structure is tucked into the hillside, with the stage doubling as a roof for a building below. Massive glass doors and windows surround the exterior of the building. While the stage has not been used in a long time, Boudreau hopes to clean it up and have it ready for concerts this fall. The restoration is estimated to cost $7,000.
