Rene Wolf will be singing “God Bless the USA” before the fireworks display at 10 p.m. on the Fourth of July at the Tolt-MacDonald Park. Wolf chose to sing “God Bless the USA” because she
believed the lyrics would be a good reminder of what it means to be free. “It makes me really realize that I am glad to live in America,” said Wolf. “It’s a celebration of our Independence.” As a high school student living in a small town, Wolf realizes that her freedom to learn and grow should not be taken for granted. One of the things Wolf is
most thankful for is the freedom to sing. She sings in the Cedarcrest High School choir and on the worship team for her youth group at Redemption Church. “I don’t play sports,” said Wolf. “So singing is kind of like my sport.” Wolf wants to use her voice to bless and touch other people. She was glad to sing last year and is excited to sing again.

Parish and his fellow band members try to communicate to each other on stage and create a carefree and enjoyable atmosphere for their audience. “We want to create something spontaneous and pleasing to the ear,” said Parish. “A lot of what we do up there isn’t planned.” Jazz, much like the American spirit, is free and distinctively diverse. Jazz was born in the early twentieth century. During a vast migration of African Americans into Northern cities, classical music met blues in the clubs and dance halls of Harlem. “Jazz is a really cool thing that was literally born out of separate cultures merging, which is a lot like America,” said Parish. “So I think it is fitting that we play jazz music on the day we celebrate America’s birth.”
Sound with a variety of bands. Now, in the Jack Ballard Band, Gill and Ballard are groovin’ together once again.
