In celebration of America's Independence Day, the Magic Kingdom has unveiled an all-new fireworks presentation - Celebrate America: a Fourth of July Concert in the Sky - featuring traditional patriotic melodies such as "America the Beautiful" and "God Bless America", a variety of folk songs and romantic ballads including "This Land is Your Land", "Oh! Susanna", "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain" and "Shenandoah". The show's finale features a salute to Old Glory with rousing performances of "You're A Grand Ol' Flag", John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" and our National Anthem, the "Star Spangled Banner". The new show is also scheduled to perform on July 3rd and July 4th.

Introduction

The lights around the Magic Kingdom dim. Cinderella Castle is illuminated in deep forest hues and the sounds of native drums and wildlife fill the air.

In the distance you can hear the eagles call. A deep voice similar to Epcot's storyteller begins, "America the land where eagles soar, since history began its people have celebrated the magnificence of this land." Native chants are heard. As the narrator continues, "Tonight we celebrate America, a land of many peoples, a country that continues to grow, a nation of courage, and independence. America the Beautiful!"

Trumpet fanfare accompanies the pyro sprays of red, white and blue.
