YABBA-DABBA DOO DAY!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1999

The Flintstones came to the San Bernadino Symphony... along with the Jetsons, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, and many other Hanna-Barbera cartoon themes for a special benefit concert arranged and conducted by Robert Wendel. This is but one example of the "special services" that can be provided by Robert Wendel as conductor/arranger!

For the first time, all the major themes from these cartoons were performed by a full symphony orchestra in arrangements specially created for this concert. Themes heard at the Pops concert included:

  • The Flintstones Meet The Jetsons, Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear
  • Quickdraw McGraw, Top Cat, Wally Gator, Magilla Gorilla
  • Scooby Doo, Josie and The Pussycats, Hong-Kong Phooey
  • Jonny Quest, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, and The Smurfs
