Memorial Day Concert at the Capitol

The preparation is underway for the annual Memorial Day Concert at the Capitol. It takes quite some time to get everything set up, particularly all the security measures. We usually try to attend the "dress rehearsal" the day before. It's a little less frenzied, and always a pleasant way to spend the evening. This is one of the best reasons to live on Capitol Hill. We just walk over, 2-3 blocks, and we're there!
This scenery somehow makes the place look tacky

Getting the stage and lighting set

The Symphony orchestra typically sits below the canopy

Always a majestic sight
