The Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s annual patriotic concert at Antietam National Battlefield has been a local tradition for 34 years. This year, the 35th Salute to Independence was planned for Saturday, July 4, but was canceled, due to its size and the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though there wasn’t a Salute to Independence this year, Herald-Mail Media wants to recognize the role the Maryland Symphony Orchestra and other local organizations have played in our community. We salute you and appreciate all you do to make our community home.
