When I think of music and the Fourth of July, Sousa marches inevitably come to mind. While I was growing up, my family often attended free concerts during the summer by the Dayton Philharmonic or the Dayton Municipal Band at the Diehl Bandshell in Island Park. Often these concerts were followed by fireworks, and those were always particularly impressive on Independence Day. “Stars and Stripes Forever,” of course, always concluded the Municipal Band’s special holiday concerts.
