It was so great we want to make it a yearly tradition
What a great way to spend the Fourth of July! Beautiful night sitting outside...reasonably priced for the entire family to attend...and just a blessing to experience the talents of so many people either singing or playing their instruments! The night was played out exactly right to reflect on the reason for the holiday--our country's independence and freedom; and the selection of songs made me proud to be an American! The song selection covered a range of classical arrangements to popular patriotic songs that we could sing to. People were waving their flags and feeling proud to be a part of this wonderful country. The fireworks at the end were some of the best I've ever seen! They were so close...right over head....really a treat! I would for sure do this again!! This night reflected what what the Fourth of July is REALLY all about--AMERICA!!
I had a great evening at the ASO All American Celebration event. The Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre is a great venue for this type of celebration. The symphony sounded great, and the fireworks display after was impressive. The US Army Chorus added a nice vocal counterpoint to the evening. Finally, It was much easier getting in and out of the venue compared to the Centennial Park or the Lennox Mall celebrations. I definitely plan a return trip next year.
Last night I saw an amazing performance by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the U.S. Marine Corp Chorus. The music was beautiful, the singing was outstanding and it was just a great production.
Excellent concert. Loved the army chorus! Fantastic fireworks. This was my first time at the amphitheater and I though it was very well designed. No problems with parking or traffic. The management needs to take note of the smell from the porta potties- it was an unpleasant detractor when sitting in the central lawn area.
The only problem was the near by (and they were very near) fireworks that were going off during the the concert and overbearing to the musicians that we were trying to hear. Maybe next year a negotiation could be worked out that they start later.
Overall an excellent night. The Army Chorus did a magnificent job and the Orchestra was amazing. If you weren't there you missed it.
