Band Concert at West Point

Saturday, 3 September 2022

Every Labor Day weekend, the West Point Band (the Army's oldest band) concludes their summer concert season with a crowd-pleasing performance that ends with cannon fire accompaniment and fireworks.

The bandshell is located above the Hudson River at Trophy Point - a spectacular setting.

This year's fireworks were spectacular. I tried out the "fireworks" setting on my camera for the first time, and wished I had brought a small tripod.

As we walked back to our car, I took a final photo of the barracks with the Cadet Chapel and the waxing crescent moon in the background. ("Hand-held night" setting on my camera.)
