Happy Independence Day!

[cassiesmom]

Independence Day doesn't really lend itself to being observed on the nearest Monday, as so many other holidays are here. It just works out right that it's on Monday this year, but next year if we did nearest Monday the Fourth would be on the Second!

Happy Fourth of July/Independence Day to all our American friends (and everyone else)!

Dear U.S. PT Friends, happy Fourth of July! Happy Birthday America!

Karen, I was just watching the Boston Pops Independence Day concert on TV. For "Stars and Stripes Forever" there were five piccolo players from the U.S. Army (?) band and three in the orchestra. (as a flutist the piccolo part was my big dream and when I finally got to do it my senior year of high school, learning it was a big nightmare!) I've never seen eight people play it together, though! I was so proud but my cheeks hurt watching them! (My fingers still do it by muscle memory )
