Nothing says, “Happy Birthday America,” more than Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The 1812 Overture is the perennial favorite to close a fireworks displays world wide. But for a 4th of July celebration? Couldn’t they find something by George M. Cohan? I really think they should have ended on the Stars and Stripes which had a finale feel to it.
The whole day past with patriotic images and music. 50 service men and women held a gigantic American flag in the shape of the 48 contiguous states. It was magnificent!
Although a better music choice could have been made, I have to say it was a great finish. And I guess they couldn’t play “Yankee Doodle Dandy” in a stadium in Georgia.
Here’s a video from last year’s fireworks display. This year they had the same ending but it was in the rain. Looking for a humorous speaker, funny speaker, or MC for your next event? Go to http://funnyspeakerandemcee.com
