We brought a blanket and a camera - but wished we had brought a picnic! I brought knitting too, but it was getting dark when we got there, so it stayed in the car.
Most of this was cordoned off for musicians and their family only, while the crowd was sitting back behind the large LOUDspeakers.
We sat in the back quarter, and the speakers still reached us.
There were live artillery for the 1812 overture - and each shot was enough to make your skin prickle!
The symphony played for about an hour and a half, including Wagner, Gershwin, some music from Star Wars, Sinatra, West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet. And the grand finale - the 1812 overture with cannonfire.

That sounds fun! Symphony music live is something to be experienced!
That sounds wonderful - and the live artillery would've been eerie indeed.
How Great!!! We used to have "Pops in the Park"....we always enjoyed it!!
That sounds fabulous! I love symphony music.
mr. o'k & i were just talking about the 1812 with live artillery! what a treat...
speaking of which, have you seen V for Vendetta yet? (if not, it's a fun movie, and the 1812 Overture has a small but quite sparkling role!)
