Just got back, and I've got pictures!

Ok, just because I like them so much, I'm gonna put up "This is America" the fourth of july show at America Gardens Theater. It was a very good show with the Fife and Drum corps, American Vybe, and the Voices of Liberty. Here is number one, the fife and drum corps marching into the theater from just outside it, where they performed their first "number" :

Number two is the corps on stage with the US flag as a backdrop.

Number three is the corps performing one of the songs of a military branch in their medley of them all:

Lastly, this is our Voices of Liberty. It started to rain after them, so while I saw the rest of the show, I didn't get pictures. American Vybe came out and sang, and later were joined back by the Voices of Liberty. At the very end, there were even sparklers. Overall, it was a very patriotic show. Well done.

Now that I think about it, that third one is from when they played taps. My mistake.

Any requests of what comes up next? Or is it too late. I'd be happy to do it tonight, if anyone wants any. Just say the word.

Nice pictures so far, how about somefrom the fireworks?

 

[kevlightyear]

Fireworks it is. I was hoping to see a longer version. It was pretty short. But nevertheless, it was fantastic. The finale was probably twice the normal fireworks load, all in about five minutes. The smoke was blowing right at us, so the pictures, aren't great great. I have to say, towards the end of it, there were so many blasts, it was incredible, one right after another, and they were BIG. I could literally feel blasts of wind. And it was loud as anything. Not to mention the incredible crowds, especially at the handicap viewing area up front. Whew! Anyway, here's pic number one:

Number four:

Lastly number five: These are firework "sprinkler type things that they added (even though it's hard to tell). They are similar to the ones used in Fantasmic at the end.

 

[kevlightyear]

Well that's all for tonight. I'm dead tired. Coming up tomorrow:

Get Happy. . .With ABC
Canada Rehab
Italy Rehab
Philharmagic shots
and Once Upon a Toy Store pics.

And the suspense builds. . .

[Wilson]

Nice shots. What kind of camera are you using?

 

[donaldduck1967]

do you have any fantasmic?

 

[d dude]

Get Happy.............. With ABC pleez! :sohappy: Thanx!

 

[kevlightyear]

Thanks Wilson, I use a Sony DSC-P5. An awesome camera, in my opinion. Very easy to use, and takes fantastic shots.

FanofDisney, I'm glad you're enjoying them. This is like reliving my vacation!

donaldduck, I do in fact have Fantasmic pictures, from my last three trips down there, and I'll post some later if you like.

d dude's request of Get Happy, coming right up! Here is a shot of outside the theater where some Doug headshots used to be:

And here's one of the pillars outside the studio:

One more from outside, this time, it's the waiting queue area. Playing on the screens above are the same things that will be playing on the five screens inside, as we load.

 

[kevlightyear]

Ok, now moving into the theater, the five screens that play the same loop over and over again with some very. . .interesting music in the background. It's a shame, that big stage was just used for five movie screens.
