A
Good
evening,
everybody
good
evening
welcome
what
a
great
crowd
we
have
here
in
Van
shell
Park

I
think
this
is
definitely
the
largest
crowd.
We've
had
so
far
this
summer.
Give
yourselves
a
big
round
of
applause,
excellent
turnout,
we
appreciated
so
much
everybody
looks
like
they
are
ready
and
raring
to
kill.
Are
you
ready
to
get
really
patriotic
tonight?
A
Are
you
here
tonight?
We've
got
a
good
old-fashioned,
red
white
and
blue
good
time
for
you
as
we
help
you
get
an
early
start
on
your
4th
of
July
holiday
yeah.
You
know
we're
really
early,
but
sometimes
the
way
the
calendar
Falls
that's
the
way
it
has
to
be,
but
I
don't
think
we
hear
any
objections
to
that.
A
A
Provided
our
free
concert,
entertainment,
they
will
be
joining
us
for
more

later
this
hour,

of
the
band,
let's
meet
the
people
who
are
the
heart
and
soul
of
our
music
year
every
week
they
are
wearing
their
traditional
red
and
black,
but
make
no
mistake
in
their
hearts.
They
are
all
red,
white
and
blue,
especially
tonight
the
members
of
your
Ames
missable

A
We
have
a

evening,
but
he's
no
stranger
to
conducting

of
fact

A
Was
the
larch
that
bears
the
model
of
the
US
Marine
Corps,
meaning
always

Semper

Of

their
official
motto
in
1883
Susan
became
musical
conductor
at
the
US
Marine
Corps
band
in
1880,
and
wrote
that
March
in
1888,
while
speaking
of
the
1800s
Franz
von
surveys,
operetta
light.
A
Cavalry
premiered
in
Vienna
in
1866
tells
the
story
of
a
troop
of
cavalry
who
attempt
to
unite
a
young
couple
through
many
twists
and
turns,
and
although
the
full
operetta
has
languished
in
obscurity
in
more
recent
years,
the
overture
from
that
operetta
has
enjoyed
a
life
of
its
own
and
has
become
a
favorite
of
many
ensembles
and
audiences
worldwide
and
is
heralded
as
one
of
anza
Bay's
best-known
works
and
has
also
been
used
in
many
other
ways,
including
such
things
as
animated
cartoons.
This
is
Vance

overture.

I.
A
Got
a
couple
guys,
cooling
their
heels
up
here
right
now.
There
they're
gonna
have
to
stand
up
in
a
minute
because
they're
part
of
this
next
number
on
this
night,
dedicated
to
the
USA
we're
going
to
salute
a
style
of
music
that
is
very
uniquely
American.
Around
the
turn
of
the
century.
In
New
Orleans,
the
Dixieland
sound
came
into
being
hippies
traced
to
a
group
called
the
original
Dixieland
jazz
band.
That's
a
Jes
with
two
S's,
so
Dixieland
actually
referred
to
the
band
originally
and
not
the
type
of
music
and
as
great
montage.
A
We
bring
you
three
Dixieland
favorites
Copenhagen,
Basin,
Street
Blues
and,
of
course,
when
the
saints
go
marching
in
with
solos
from
Rick
Kaufman
on
trumpet
Pamela
Webster
on
clarinet
fall
undie
on
the
tenor,
sax
Janet
lot
on
the
trombone
Jim
Gilbert
on
Touma
tuba
and
Michael
Herman
on
the
drums.
We're
gonna
get
the
drums
into
the
action
to
you.
This
is
called
Dixieland
Jamboree.
B
A
Y'all,
like
that
Dixieland
just
perfect
for
the
July
4th
holiday
again,
we
very
much
appreciate
all
of
you
turning
out
here
tonight.
What
a
beautiful
evening
it
has
turned
out
to
be
once
again.
Mother
nature
tried
to
mess
with
us
earlier
today
tried
to
send
some
rain
this
way,
but
the
bulk
of
that
missed
us
checking
the
radar
a
little
while
ago
that
storm
that
passed
south
of
Des
Moines
about
the
noon
hour.
It's
clear
down
in
the
far
southern
tip
of
Illinois
right
now,
it's
still
holding
together.
A
It's
still
moving
along
and
things
making
some
travel.
It
will
never
be
known
what
exactly
the
inspiration
was
for
the
American
classic
Shenandoah
or
Oh
Shenandoah.
Some
people
call
it.
It
is
thought
to
have
originated
with
fur
traders
traveling
the
rivers
of
America,
including
the
Missouri
River,
as
far
west
as
anyone
dared
to
venture.
In
those
days.
Many
of
these
fur
traders
met
Native,
Americans
and
one
popular
theory
of
the
song's
origin
tells
of
a
trader
who
fell
in
love
with
the
daughter
of
chief
Shenandoah
by
the
mid-1800s.
A
B
A
Composure:
lyricists
actor,
singer
dancer,
you
name
it
if
it
had
to
do
with
entertainment,
George
M
Cohan
had
a
hand
in
it
known
as
the
man
who
owned
Broadway
in
the
decade
prior
to
World
War
one.
He
appeared
in
more
than
three
dozen
Broadway
shows
in
his
lifetime.
He
published
more
than
300
songs,
including
some
of
the
great
American
standards
over
there,
give
my
regards
to
Broadway
the
Yankee
Doodle
boy
and
you're
a
grand
old
flag
and
we'll
be
hearing
some
of
those
greats
in
this
very
special
upcoming
medley.
A
A
Myles
graduated
from
Iowa
State
University
in
2003,
with
a
BA
in
vocal
music.
He
performs
vocal,
music
and
other
forms
of
music
on
the
side,
too,
you
might
see
him
around
town,
Ames
farmers,
market
and
other
events,
and
he
worked
First
National
Bank
here
at
Ames,
where
his
full-time
job
he's
married
with
three
children,
ages,
8,
5
and
2.
What
do
you
want
to
bet?
That's
a
very
busy
household.
We
are
very
happy
to
have
him
here
this
evening.

A
Fourth
of
July
parade
coming
up
annual
tradition,
they're,
an
annual
tradition
to
have
the
Ames
municipal
band
involved,
but
once
again
be
heading
down
the
streets
playing
some
great
music
for
you
on
the
move,
and
the
band
would
like
to
extend
a
big
thank
you
to
my
telling
of
Ames
for
supplying
the
vehicle
and
the
trailer
that
the
band
will
be
using
and
the
band
will
also
be
taking
part.
Once
again.
A
In
another
fine
tradition,
the
Iowa
municipal
band
festival
in
Boone
on
July,
8th,
Ames
municipal
band
will
be
performing
in
the
afternoon,
but
the
whole
day
filled
with
fantastic
bands
from
all
around
the
state,
at
sinnerman
Park
in
the
pavilion,
the
south
side
of
Boone
July,
8th,
fantastic
annual
festival
there.
Well,
our
35th
president
held
the
office
for
just
a
short
time
but
left
a
lasting
legacy
in
the
hearts
of
the
American
people.
A
Like
few
other
chief
executives
have
whether
called
Jack,
JFK
or
just
Kennedy,
there's
no
mistaking
john
f
kennedy's
place
in
the
history
of
the
United
States
and
of
the
world.
We
now
salute
John,
F
Kennedy,
with
ask
not
a
musical
tribute
to
the
life
of
JFK
to
narrate
the
special
selection.
We
ask
you
to
please
welcome
to
the
stage
a
man
that
many
of
you
know
very
well
from
his
work
with
Kay
hoi,
a
radio
and
many
events
here
in
Banshee
all
Park.
A
D
Hetch
on
a
granite
wall
below
us
grave
at
Arlington,
National
Cemetery
one
can
read
the
following
words,
and
so
my
fellow
Americans
ask
not
what
your
country
can
do
for
you
ask
what
you
can
do
for
your
country.
My
fellow
citizens
of
the
world.
Ask
not
what
America
can
do
for
you,
but
what,
together,
we
can
do
for
the
freedom
of
man.
D
John
Fitzgerald
Kennedy
was
born
in
Brookline
Massachusetts
on
May
29th
1917
Jack,
as
he
was
often
called,
was
the
second
child
of
Joseph
and
Rose
Kennedy
and
together
his
parents
raised
nine
children.
He
attended
Harvard
University,
where
he
graduated
with
honors
in
World
War
two.
He
served
in
the
Navy
and
commanded
pt-109.
D
When
the
ships
sank,
he
had
risked
his
life
to
save
his
crew
serving
his
country,
helped
to
shape
his
thoughts
on
the
future
of
America's
right
to
defend
its
freedom.
Let
every
nation
know
whether
it
wishes
us
well
or
ill,
and
we
shall
pay
any
price.
Bear
any
burden,
meet
any
hardship,
support.
Any
friend
oppose
any
foe
to
assure
the
survival
and
the
success
of
Liberty.
D
Jfk
was
the
youngest
band
elected
to
the
office
of
the
presidency.
He
was
the
first
Boy
Scout
to
become
president
John.
Kennedy
was
the
first
Roman
Catholic
president.
He
was
the
first
president
that
served
in
the
Navy
and
the
first
to
have
earned
a
Purple
Heart.
The
main
challenges
of
his
term
in
office
were
conflicts
with
Cuba
Russia
Vietnam,
the
Mafia
and
concerns
regarding
civil
rights.
Here
the
words
now
of
newly
elected
President
Kennedy,
as
he
prepared
to
face
the
uncertainty
of
what
would
surely
become
his
lasting
legacy
in
the
long
history
of
the
world.
D
D
President
Kennedy
was
an
ardent
supporter
of
the
civil
rights
movement.
He,
along
with
noted
activist
Martin
Luther
King,
worked
long
and
hard
to
help
bring
about
positive
change
on
June
11th
1963.
He
addressed
the
nation
and
proclaimed
the
following
thoughts.
This
nation
was
founded
by
men
of
many
nations
and
backgrounds.
It
was
founded
on
the
principle
that
all
men
are
created
equal
and
that
the
rights
of
every
man
are
diminished
when
the
rights
of
one
man
are
threatened.
D
I
am
therefore
asking
Congress
to
enact
legislation
giving
all
Americans
the
right
to
be
served
in
facilities
which
are
open
to
the
public,
hotels,
restaurants,
theaters
retail
stores
and
similar
establishments.
It
seems
to
me
to
be
an
elementary
right.
It's
denial
in
an
arbitrary
indignity
to
no
American
in
1963
should
have
to
endure
in
the
fall
of
1963.
D
President
Kennedy
turned
his
attention
to
his
re-election
campaign
and
decided
that
a
trip
to
visit
the
South
was
long
overdue,
with
First
Lady
Jacqueline.
By
his
side,
he
embarked
on
a
two-day
trip
that
would
take
him
to
five
major
cities
in
the
heartland
of
Texas
on
the
morning
of
November
22nd
1963,
a
motorcade
of
political
dignitaries
traveled
along
a
10-mile
route
that
would
go
through
downtown
Dallas,
since
the
earlier
rain
had
stopped
the
plastic
bubble.
On
top
of
the
presidential
limousine
was
removed.
D
Overflow
crowds
of
excited
people
lined
the
streets
and
waved
frantically
to
the
Kennedys
at
approximately
12:30
p.m.
the
car
turned
off
Main
Street,
as
it
was
passing,
the
Texas
School
Book
Depository
gunfire
suddenly
rang
out
in
the
plaza
now.
Let
us
reflect
on
the
events
of
that
day
and
remember
that
life
as
we
knew
it
was
about
to
be
changed.
D
Two
of
the
three
shots
fired
attack
struck
the
president,
causing
him
to
slump
over
toward
mrs.
Kennedy
the
limousine
sped
off
to
Parkland
Hospital
located
just
a
few
minutes
away.
However,
doctors
could
do
little
to
save
him.
The
Catholic
priest
was
summoned
to
administer
the
last
rites
and
at
1:00
p.m.
John
F
Kennedy,
the
35th
President
of
the
United
States
was
pronounced
dead.
D
For
four
days,
the
world
Stood
Still,
while
people
from
all
walks
of
life,
mourned
the
loss
of
their
beloved
JFK
on
November
25th.
He
was
laid
to
rest
as
people
struggled
to
make
sense
of
a
senseless
act
and
to
articulate
their
feelings
about
his
life
and
legacy.
Many
recalled
these
words
from
his
inaugural
address,
whether
good
conscience,
our
only
sure
reward
with
history,
the
final
judge
of
our
deeds.
A
Well,
next
week,
here
in
bandshell
park,

IDI,

Thursday
evening,

A
Once
again,
it
is
time
right
now
to
get
ready
to
roll
out
one
of
the
favorite
parts
of
our
annual
4th
of
July
concert,
the
Armed
Forces
medley,

arrangement
by
Bob
Loudon.
It's
our
annual

to
the
US
military
and
our
personal.
Thank

One
that
definitely
stirs
our
patriotism
with
words
by
Katherine
Lee
Bates,
published
in
1892
music,
composed
by
church
organist
Samuel
award
added
in
1910,
along
with
the
name
that
we
know
it
by
today.
Bates
was
inspired
to
begin
writing
the
lyrics
as
a
poem
after
she
visited
the
top
of
Pikes
Peak
in
Colorado,
and
likewise,
nearly
18
years
later,
Samuel
Ward
was
inspired
to
set
those
lines
to
music.
Today
he
continues
to
inspire.
All
of
us
is
one
of
our
most
patriotic
songs
again
with
the
Ames
choral
society.
This
is
America.
The
Beautiful.
A
Nothing
says
John,
Philip,
Sousa
and
nothing
says
America
more
than
our
traditional
finale
for
this
concert
each
year,
Sousa
composed
the
work
on
Christmas
Day
1896
on
a
ship
crossing
the
Atlantic,
as
he
made
his
way
back
to
America
from
Europe.
After
learning
of
the
death
of
the
manager
of
his
band,
he
composed
the
March
in
his
head
and
put
the
notes
to
paper
after
arriving
back
in
the
US.
It
was
first
performed
just
outside
Philadelphia
in
May
of
1897
and
became
Souza's
Magnus
opus
with
its
trademark
piccolo
solo
and
it's
notable
low
brass
passages.
A
This
is
a
crowd-pleaser
like
no
other,
we're
always
happy
to
bring
it
to
you
as
the
nightcap.
For
this
concert
each
year,
another
great
tradition,
continuing
we
will
have
the
piccolo
Solo
from
the
band's
Heather
him
off,
and
the
Ames
choral
society
joining
us,
of
course,
and
we
invite
you
to
stand
and
clap
along
with
us.
The
second
time
through
the
trio
will
we'll
give
you
a
cue
with
the
voices
of
the
Ames
choral
society
now
ready
to
go
with
us
in
our
grand
finale
tonight.
