We went to a Great Big Huge Outdoor Amphitheatre for a concert. The local symphony played a whole bunch of patriotic pieces and wound up with the 1812 Overture, complete with real cannons. My dad fired one of the cannons (actually a cute little mortar) and gets a big kick out of talking about "playing with the symphony." hilarious The concert ended with a big whoppin' fireworks show. Very cool.
