Summer Sunday afternoons in Coronado, California offer a free concert in the park for all ages to enjoy. A different band is on tap every week. Last week the San Diego Marine Band provided lively and patriotic music. Horns and drums and fifes filled the air while we all relaxed in camp chairs on the lawn.
The park is filled with both palms and pines, and when the weather is sunny and breezy, there’s no better place to sit back and listen to music.
After the band played lively marches and swing music, it moved to a more somber note. Soldiers carried the flag while security folks kept an eye on the crowd. Then came a medley of military theme songs. Those who had served stood when the band started in on the theme song of their branch.
My family loved this concert in the park. How about you? Are you enjoying the end of this season?

That part of the city I miss! We used to go to a free summer jazz festival (I think it was Fullerton) -such a treat wand relaxing. Love the tribute to the flag, especially in this time:) and the reflection on the wind instruments in the grass. Many thanks for sharing this with SEASONS – I love it. Have a great week!
