John Williams at the fireworks

I just though I'd share that at this year's fireworks the second piece that was played was Hook. It was easily the best fireworks display for the first half of the show too. Un fortunately I did not have a radio and so could not reliably hear music, but apparently during the finale (which completely destroyed any hope of hearing music) they may have played Jurassic Park too.

(Other selections included Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, part of the last movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony, and Concerning Hobbits from Fellowship of the Ring. They missed the opportunity to make a dragon shaped firework for that though... ;-))

I watched some of that special with my boyfriend and we were really disappointed with the symphony's playing. a trumpet player totally came in at the wrong time when JW was conducting.

they may not have a gig next year - :)
