The full lyrics of the national anthem are about this actual flag

For many of us, the words in the middle of the first verse of “The Star Spangled Banner” underscore the reason we celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks: “And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”

The lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner” come from a poem by Francis Scott Key, who witnessed the bombardment by British ships of Fort McHenry during the Battle of Boston in the War of 1812.

The 35-year-old lawyer was on a ship to negotiate with the British for the release of a civilian prisoner. Imagine him watching through the night to see if the fort had fallen, being inspired by the sight of the large flag visibly streaming and occassionally lit by the red flare of gunpowder as the British navy fired more than 1,000 volleys of “bombs bursting in air.” He wrote the poem “Defence of Fort M’Henry” the next day, Sept. 14, 1814. The lyrics of our national anthem come from that poem and are set to the music of a popular British tune written for a London men’s social club, the Anacreonic Society. Congress made it the nation’s official anthem in 1931.

Here is a photograph of the actual “Star Spangled Banner,” the flag that flew over Fort McHenry. Originally measuring 42 by 30 feet, it was made in anticipation of the coming battle

by Mrs. Mary Young Pickersgill, her daughter, two nieces, and an African American indentured servant, Grace Wisher. The material was cut at her home, then carried to a nearby brewery to be sewn together. George Henry Preble created the photo in 1872. It was published by Frank A. O’Connell and Wilbur F. Coyle in a program for the National Star-Spangled Banner Centennial, Baltimore, Maryland, September 6 to 13, 1914.

The Star Spangled Banner O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: ‘Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion, A home and a country, should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation.

Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Jesse Quandt Band takes the stage at 7:30 Fireworks aren’t the only sound you’ll hear on the fourth! There will also be live music in the park below the Visitor Center at Grand Coulee Dam. “I love playing at the dam,” Jesse Quandt said. “This is the fourth time that I have done it. It’s so awesome.

Out of all the venues I play, it’s one of my favorites.”

Quandt headlines the event, and his music will usher in the Laser Light Show at 10 p.m., just before the fireworks off the top of the dam.

The Spokane-based country artist says he’ll play a handful of cover songs but will focus on originals.

The band is releasing an EP (extended play album) in conjunction with the 4th of July that will be available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and more.

“Music to me is so much more than music,” Quandt said. “It’s heart, emotion, healing. It’s the best form of expression, and in my opinion, the best form of entertainment. It’s so much.”

Quandt’s band also includes Daniel Brock on lead guitar, John Foreman on bass, and Drey Davis on Drums.

Quandt started playing guitar and singing when he was just 4 years old, so his influences of outlaw country and classic rock are deeply rooted now. Even so, he became well versed in jazz and classical music later on, and added drums to his instrumental capabilities.

After the Iraq war started, he joined the U.S. Army and served for 10 years, never without a guitar at his post.

Quandt began composing his own songs toward the end of his last tour, and within weeks of returnThe

His music is infused with energy, but can be intimate, too, with a blend of country, rock, blues and soul.

“Writing and performing is unlike any other feeling,” he says on his booking website. “When I’m on stage, what you see is what is what is real. Folks see a window into me.

No front, no act. It’s all real. I am thankful for every opportunity.”

Hometown Hooligans play classic rock These Hooligans are up to … good music. And they’ve been busy.

The Hometown Hooligans have been booked from Grand Coulee’s own Colorama festival in May to Ephrata to Sun Lakes and Soap Lake and more, this spring, playing classic rock covers.

They will take the stage at 5 p.m.

The band, formed in 2011, consists of Coulee City residents: singer Clifford Bresee; Stacey Bresee, on bass and vocals; Dave Harwell, on guitar; and David Bomstad, from Ephrata, on drums.

Clifford Bresee, a music teacher at Almira-Coulee-Hartline, spoke about performing on the Fourth of July and what music means in America: “Music is a binding factor for every culture on the face of the planet, and live music performances as a part of national holidays are common to many cultures,” he said. “In America,

music has been an important part of the fiber that is woven throughout the fabric of who we are. From Broadway to Nashville to New Orleans to Cleveland to Seattle you can experience an incredibly beautiful and diverse musical mosaic of what it is to be an American. Every great celebration requires music, and celebrating our nation’s independence with an evening of live music performances is always going to be a great time!”

Lila Rose will be the first performer, kicking things off at 3 p.m., July 4 The 20-year-old, who hails from Wilbur, currently studies songwriting in Nashville, Tennessee. She made a surprise appearance at last year’s Festival of America and was a hit.

Rose writes an older style of country, “outlaw country.” Think Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash. “They are all considered outlaw artists,” she says, “not because of what they did in their lives, but because their style of music was different than the country music that was coming out of Nashville at the time.”

Today’s county is different too, and like those legends, Rose finds herself embracing an older style.

“Right now, the only music you’ll hear on country radio is pop/ country, and that is not me,” she says. “I am a storyteller, and I care more about the words I am singing than if the beat of the song is a good ‘dance beat.’

“The Fourth of July is actually my favorite holiday,” Rose continued. “I love this country and love celebrating it. The Fourth has always been filled with nothing but happy, fun memories, so I am so incredibly excited and humbled that I was asked to perform this year.”

“I have had several family members and friends serve this country through the military, law enforcement, becoming a paramedic, and fighting fire,” she continued. “While I am not doing as valiant of work as them, a big part of America is our freedom to express ourselves and our freedom to go out and celebrate with some

form of entertainment, and I get to be the entertainment.

“I get to be a part of so many people’s lives while they celebrate

what makes this country so great,” she says. “I get to be a part of the memories they share with other people, and that means so much to me. I may not be out defending our freedom or saving lives, so

I appreciate those who do more than words can describe, but I get to exercise a freedom to celebrate through music with so many people, and that is something a lot of other countries don’t get to do.”

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. -- Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.

We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections

and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. -- And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
