Sure, there will be orchestras having Independence Day concerts, and they’ll all be good in their way. But what you really want on July 4, if this is a major holiday for you, is a big, traditional band concert. That’s why this year SFCV is recommending the Golden Gate Park Band, which will be doing its patriotic program at the concourse bandstand. The program will include a selection of music commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War (year two – only three more to go), as well as the marches and other music that make this holiday special.
