If you haven't yet discovered the Summer Concert Series at Fort George G. Meade, let me suggest you head on over to the Fort Meade Pavilion this weekend (August 16) to hear the Army Concert Band & Soldiers' Chorus. They'll be performing Tchaikovsky's Overture to 1812, complete with Cannons, in the final performance of this year's series.
The last time I heard this performed, we were at Wolf Trap - it was magnificent, but it was a lot more expensive.
You see, the Summer Concert Series at Fort George G. Meade is free and open to the public. You can afford to bring the whole family - expose your kids to the classics! And, just like Wolf Trap, you can bring your own comfy lawn chairs or blankets. It starts at 7 p.m.
But this concert series is not only less expensive than Wolf Trap, the Kennedy Center and other concert venues in the Washington - Baltimore area, it's CLOSER!
DIRECTIONS:
From D.C. - Take MD-295 N towards BALTIMORE to US 175 EAST. Follow 175 EAST approximately 2.5 miles to Fort Meade on the right, and use the Llewellyn Avenue Gate entrance.
From Baltimore - Take MD-295 S towards WASHINGTON to US 175 EAST. Follow 175 EAST approximately 2.5 miles to Fort Meade on the right, and use the Llewellyn Avenue Gate entrance.
From Annapolis- Take I-97 to Rt. 32 towards COLUMBIA. Take 175 WEST to Fort Meade on the left, and use the Llewellyn Avenue Gate entrance.

Margaret, Ft. Meade seems to offer a lot in the way of great musical performances. Wish I could be there!
Margaret, the Army Band is made up of some of the finest musicians in the country! This should be a wonderful concert!
Good Morning Margaret, I was noticing you use CopyScape and with all the fuss over RE Blog, I was wondering what your take on it is?
When it comes to the performing arts, your entire area certainly has a ton to offer. All the branches of military bands are excellent.
