Fireworks at Colonial Williamsburg, July 4th, 2009

Colonial Williamsburg did a great job this year coordinating their evening show.  The evening started off with a one hour show performed by the Fife and Drum junior corp followed by the senior corp.  At the end of the show, the fireworks began.  The show lasted the typical 15 minutes and then the grand finale.  But wait, Colonial Williamsburg had a surprise for us all.  A second grand finale followed but yet a 3rd grand finale that had a false end and continued.  A very well planned out evening.  At the end of the final grand finale the Fife and Drums once again performed a few more sets while marching down the Duke of Gloucester street.  Traffic was a nightmare getting out of the area.  Though this is normal and expected.  Going a simple mile takes about 20 minutes and there are no short cuts as everyone else is thinking the same thing.

Heard throughout the area the enitre day was a Christian rock Band that was performing at a local school grounds.  They could be heard up until about 7:00 PM.  Though they did not pack in the crowds, they had a good following and a nice sound.
