Ever wonder what the 1812 Overture finale looks like up close? Tchaikovsky's masterpiece has been the adotped anthem of summertime in the U.S. for decades, but you usually don't get this viewpoint of the work's finale by the Presidential Salute Battery from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard). Check out our performance live next Saturday, Aug 17 at 8pm, here on Summerall Field on Joint Base Myer - Henderson Hall. More information on Saturday's concert can be found at http://bit.ly/Army
