We drove down into DC at about 6:45pm and found a parking place by the Mall. The rules about parking and when the maters are "hot" are pretty obscure but the place we found was good. We walked over to the Sylvan Theater by the Washington Memorial to see the Army Band, the chorus and the Herald Trumpets perform a concert. The finale was the 1812 Overture accompanied by the Presidential Old Guard and their 4 howitzer cannons. This is a yearly event to mark the almost end of summer. Not very crowded and we got there early enough to find a close place on the grass. A very pleasant evening - nice breeze and comfortable.
