The Naperville Municipal Band performed their annual Patriotic Concert on Wed., July 3, in Naperville’s Central Park. In celebration of Independence Day, the band played many patriotic favorites, such as “Americans We,” “Chester” and “The Chimes of Liberty.” The Naperville Chorus joined the band in performances of “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “God Bless America” and “America the Beautiful.”

The NMB also played Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” a long-standing tradition of the band for more than 50 years. This selection includes the firing of up to six real cannons at specific points during the music. Neighboring church bells also were rung.
