One of the shows that the girls saw included Cinderella, Spider-Man, and Captain America. This resulted in me being asked to sing the Captain America theme from the mid-60s Marvel cartoons with the really limited animation.
When Captain America throws his mighty shield
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.
For the red and the white and the white and the blue
And the red and the white and the blue will come through
When Captain America throws his mighty shield!
Ok, it wasn't great music. And it was the best of those themes.
But the music was good and the fireworks were splendid, with a rather eclectic selection of music, culminating in a bit of the 1812 Overture, which is one of those traditional pieces for fireworks. :)
Standing in the very slow line waiting for the bus back to where we were parked, I was briefly "inspired" by one of the pieces that had been used to accompany the fireworks, Neil Diamond's Coming to America. And I essayed the following to Gretchen:
Fighting Hydra round the world,
He's Captain America!
Everywhere his shield is hurled,
He's Captain America!
He's Captain America!
He's Captain America!
OK!
Well, she didn't hit me. :)
But despite some occasional whining from Katie and Julie, a good time was had by all. (Whining is, sadly, an occupational hazard...)
