A Capitol Fourth (2004 TV Special) User Reviews

What Patriotic Music!

[WhizkidF · 10/10 · 3 July 2005]

No Independence Day celebration is complete without uplifting musical numbers, famous people, and pyrotechnics. "A Capitol Fourth," America's birthday gift of music since 1981, has it all under the star-spangled sky of Washington D.C. I love to gaze at the tube seeing the National Symphony Orchestra under Erich Kunzel's baton, musical celebrities, a fine choir, Barry Bostwick the host, and a variety of military musical groups providing a feast of patriotic music. 2005's the "silver year" of this glorious concert (25 years old, but a bit too early...), so I'm up to it. If you either can't make it (because the West Lawn of the Capitol is crowded or traffic weighs on you), can't watch (or do) the fireworks, or simply too busy to celebrate the Fourth of July, this concert's for you! Add this 1 1/2 hour wonder to your Independence Day traditions if you can!!! A effect 10/10 for a patriotic PBS special!

This was my first 4th of July party I been to in Washington!!!

I am on the A Capitol Fourth (2004) but only been seeing few time doing the whole spectacular light show over the Washington Monument. I was so happy to see a big fire show in Washington & it have a lots of people there watching the show. (I met some of the people there) Wow, I think it was over 1000 people there watching the whole spectacular light show over the Washington Monument. It was really great & lots of fun too. I like all the music & see other stars like Amy Grant sing on stage doing the big light show.

I hope I get to be there again this year (2006) or next year (2007) but only if they ask me to come again.
