We should have been supporting our local bands anyway. I fear the day we do not go the extra mile to celebrate the 4th. It is our Independance Day. Although I believe adding taps at the end of the night would be of great benefit (I remember the feeling of awe listening to taps and watching the flag being lowered over the bandstand after the Statlers had sang). Our freedom came with a great price and this should be remembered. Parades, bands, fireworks, and the smell of hotdogs....God Bless America!!!!

Ya know, hiring (therefor supporting) our local bands is not such a bad idea. They should be doing that already.
