River Concert Series Super Celebration with Fireworks July 5, 2019

Rousing music from the Chesapeake Orchestra and Fireworks  always bring out a crowd.

We enjoyed lots of Science Fiction and Fantasy music, along with a few patriotic Marches at St. Mary's College or Maryland.  I have never heard music from "Wonder Woman" or a medley from Star Trek before.  Wonderful!  And of course, the Chesapeake Orchestra played a portion of the traditional "1812 Overture" with fireworks.  The crowd reached into the back patio by Daugherty-Palmer Commons, so it was quite a large event, given the weather was cooperative.  You sure know how to put on a grand show for the River Concert Series!
