America's
Spirit!

Our previous concert:

"Fantastic Fourth: America's Spirit"
Sunday, July 4, 2010 at 1:30 PM
Los Gatos High School Lawn

This year's season finale is a celebration of our country's spirit, including popular marches and patriotic selections from John Philip Sousa, Mark Camphouse, Leroy Anderson and many more. The concert is free, so arrive early with blankets and chairs—and plenty of sunscreen. It's the perfect family outing to celebrate Independence Day.

Concert highlights:

Bernstein Overture to "Candide"
Willson Selections from "The Music Man"
Rogers & Hammerstein Selections from "The Sound of Music"
Bagley National Emblem March
Sousa The Stars and Stripes Forever
