An innovative feature of these performances is an audience play-a-long. Instrumentalists young and old will be able to download copies of three well known works: The Star Spangled, America the Beautiful, and the Pomp and Circumstance March, rehearse their parts, and bring their instrument, music and music stand to the concert that night.
Towards the end of the concert "community performers" will be invited to play-a-long with the NHSO (with a little coaching by NHSO Music Director William Boughton).
