Last weekend (March 10th) we performed at Liberty Day held in Wheaton, IL in honor of Patrick Henry's "give me liberty, or give me death!" speech. It involved music, speeches, reenactments, dancing, and more. We performed in the lobby before it started, then on the stage as people came in. We also played at the end, marching to the building the dancing was being held at. The weather was great and marching outside in the evening was beautiful. During our time there we also were able to play some American/Celtic folk music with some friends of ours. Here is a taste of our performance there:
"Liberty Day was established by several families in northern Illinois with the purpose of stirring the hearts of Christians to consider the many facets of liberty; and to remember the principles, vision, faith, and sacrifices of those who have gone before and given us the unique country that we enjoy today. We are their posterity and must be careful not to waste their extreme efforts and must beseech heaven, and do our part, to preserve the legacy for our posterity. May God grant us the heart to do it, Amen!"
