This year for the Fourth of July we performed at the Pioneer Fourth Celebration in Kiowa, put on by the Elbert County Historical Society. It was a fun event, and we enjoyed the museum as well.
Performing at lunch time
They had a costume competition (we got second place)
After our performance I recited the poem "The Patriot Pastor, or, the Rising in 1776" written by Thomas Buchanan Read. This is where the quote on the side bar comes from:
"And there was tumult in the air,
The fife’s shrill note, the drum’s loud beat,
And through the land everywhere
The answering tread of hurrying feet;"
You can read the poem here.
Afterwards, we stopped by Main Street, Elizabeth for the parade we organized. We just forgot to tell anyone else about it...
We played at the Carriage Shops for a bit, first in formation (as pictured) and then in informal jamming
-Peter B.
Memor!
