The Volunteers performed a rock-n-roll tribute to our nation at Six Flags America amusement park in Mitchellville, Maryland. "Their performance on the Fourth of July was outstanding," enthused sponsor Mark Stephens. "[It] turned out to be one of the best shows our guests have ever laid eyes on!"
The Jazz Ambassadors brought their swinging renditions of America's favorites to the front steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, not far from the Liberty Bell in the City of Brotherly Love. A fan from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, spoke for many when she wrote, "The music was great, and I experienced pride in our country and for our armed forces. Thank you!"

A reunion of the Concert Band and Soldiers' Chorus with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, headed by guest conductor and resident arranger Steven Reineke, set the scene for an exciting celebration at the Riverbend Music Center.
