MSO at Antietam National Battlefield 2009

Just a couple of pictures from the Maryland Symphony Orchestra Salute to Independence at Antietam National Battlefield. The performance is always superb this year was no exception. The premier performance of Ghosts of Antietam by the MSO’s principle timpanist Joe McIntyre was really nice. The sound of the tympanis in the darkening view of Bloody Lane and the fields beyond was haunting and beautiful.

My Dad would have been 97 yesterday He was very proud to have been born on the fourth of July. . His Grandfather was at Antietam. He would have really enjoyed the John Phillips Sousa numbrs.
