Calling all Musicians
The Main Stage will feature musicians throughout the afternoon and  
evening, bringing together some of the best artistic talent in  
Northern Ohio--live bands and soloists from folk, jazz, rock and  
musical theatre. The MusicFest finishes with the TrueNorth Chorale and  
Symphony, under the direction of Rick Fortney, performing A Grand  
Night for Singing, a musical revue showcasing the music of Richard  
Rodgers and the lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein, serving as a musical  
prelude to the fireworks; they then will conclude with Patriotic  
Favorites accompanying the firework celebration.  A Grand Night for  
Singing first hit the Broadway stage in 1993. The show features  
favorite show-tunes from Broadway's Carousel, Oklahoma!, The King and  
I, South Pacific, Cinderella, The Sound of Music, Flower Drum Song,  
State Fair, and other Rodgers and Hammerstein classics. The fireworks  
celebration will begin with America the Beautiful while the  
presentation of the colors and the folding of the flag occur. Veterans  
and active military members and their families will be recognized in a  
time of remembrance. Fanfare for a Common Man, When the Saints Go  
Marching In, Battle Hymn of the Republic, Washington Post March, Stars  
and Stripes Forever, God Bless America and other favorites will be  
performed by the TrueNorth Chorale and Symphony as the sky lights up  
in celebrating the freedom we all share.
