The annual Independence Day Concert on the Square was shortened due to threatening weather Saturday night. After the entry of veterans, presentation of the colors, pledge of allegiance and the national anthem, the Northeast Texas Symphony Orchestra was able to do a John Williams Olympic Fanfare, some Gershwin Porgy and Bess Selections and a tribute to Richard Rogers as dark clouds gathered over the Square. Feeling they had about 15 minutes before rains came, the symphony changed the program to get in guest conductor Riley Bridges leading the orchestra through Sousa’s Semper Fidelis March. The after Irving Berlin’s God Bless America, the fireworks began.
