Quail Creek Bank Travel Club just returned from a Costa Rican jungle adventure. We crossed beautiful mountainous landscapes to Arenal, where we saw spectacular views of the famous volcano. We ended our tour with a jungle extension to Tortuguero, the Amazon of Costa Rica. We explore the region’s wildlife by boat, viewing macaws, sloths, monkeys, falcons and other native species. We were surrounded by the beauty of a tropical forest and amazing wildlife. Pictured are Lacey Biffle, Fay Andersen, Kathy Cleaver, Tom and Linda Gulley, Beckie Yowell, Ann Lees, Judy Smith, Jerry Shinn and Jeanie Mills. Be sure to pack OKCFRIDAY when you travel.

“This season we will celebrate the music of Brahms, and then in another concert present the majestic tone poem ‘Pines of Rome’” Mickelthwate said. “Our climactic season finale will be our semi-staged version of the opera ‘Tosca.’ There is so much going on in our Classics Series, and we cannot wait to share with you this beautiful music.”
The Chickasaw Nation Pops Series debuts Nov .3 and 4, with Golden Globenominated composer Brian Byrne presenting a Hollywood-themed spectacular.
“Brian was with us last season, and this year he’s bringing us all the red-carpet glitz and glamour you would expect from La La Land. An OKCPHIL favorite, Mariachi Los Camperos, will perform, and we will have an all-new musical production called ‘Heroes and Villains’ in a breathtaking Cirque-style musical production.”
The holidays are to be truly spectacular, Mickelthwate said, with the all-new “An OKCPHIL Christmas” with Sandi Patty and Take 6.
“Sandi is one of our local hometown favorites and she’s also a multiple Grammy Award winner,” he added. “And Take 6 is an a cappella Grammywinning gospel group integrating jazz with spiritual and inspirational lyrics. We have a local surprise element too we think will make this the hit of the Oklahoma City holiday season!”
Capping the Pops season is an OKCPHIL appearance by the legendary Bernadette Peters.
“This will be so much fun,” Mickelthwate said. “Bernadette has done everything—
