Happy 4th of July Weekend!

July 2, 2010

Just as a reminder to everyone, we have got a TON of stuff going on this 4th of July weekend that we hope you’ll be a part of!

We are going to be appearing live on Weekend Today this Sunday, July 4th morning on NBC! (This is the Weekend Edition of The Today Show.) Please note - the air time is different in every market due to a live tennis match immediately following the show, so pleaes check your local listings and set your Tivos! We will be performing ‘America the Beautiful’ in honor of the holiday, and you can download our recorded version of this song right now to prepare. Just download your copy and add it to your 4th of July playlist.

Then make sure to stay on NBC later that night, and you’ll hear us performing “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” as part of the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks! The amazing display starts at 9pm and we are honored to be a part of it.

    I missed that about Walt being the piccolo somehow. Dang. Nice job, Walt!! Now I'll have to go listen to it again. Or maybe tomorrow...it's getting late here.

    SNCfan1979: After watching the info video on the Macy's site, I think that it was prerecorded... And I think they returned to AC after doing the Today Show... But I could be wrong.

    On YouTube, for those of you looking for video of SNC at Macy's Fireworks go to YouTube--there is a Justin Bieber video in two parts--part one has both SNC songs on it--if you are interested in hearing SNC.

    SNCfan1979, according to Ryan, Walt was the piccolo. Amazing, huh?!

    SNCfan1979: My guess on the whistler would be Dan Ponce! He is known for being able to whistle and hum at the same time!

    You guys were great on Weekend Today. I thought they did a nice job of interviewing Dan. I Tivoed the show and was getting angry that you all had not been on, when finally you were. You sounded great, as usual, but I could not hear you as well as I did at your outdoor concert in Kettering, Ohio. Since I saved it I can watch your performance over and over. The Macy's fireworks show was awesome. I think it beat Thunder over Louisville. Again, you sounded great. I was so excited to see your name and hear you. And I can listen over and over because I Tovoed that too. Wish I could see you in A.C. but it's a bit far from Louisville. I have loved your backstage and other videos from there. Will your new repitoire mean a new CD? I hope so. I don't want to miss any of your singing. Have fun at Harrah's. Keep putting up those videos. I know you will impress everyone. See you in Cincinnati.

    Julie: I've seen nothing on the internet about it since the 4th. You might try googling "Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks" and see if you can get anything.

    Anyone know where I can HEAR the Stars and Stripes since I must have had my head in the sand when the fireworks started (epic fail).

    Dear Straight No Chaser,

    Thank you for putting the biggest smile on your #1 fan's face. Mom, (Kathy), enjoyed her second SNC Concert. After the With A Twist Concert at the Sherman Theater, Mom never thought she would get to see the guys perform again. The Songs Through The Decades With A Twist Concert at Harrah's Resort was also amazing. Having the band present the autographed sign and band picture definitely made her smile.

    Where can children, parents and grandparents go to enjoy a night of music, laughter and good, clean fun? Go to a Straight No Chaser Concert!

    All the time I spent making the polo shirts was well worth it. I wanted the band to know we are Straight No Chaser Chasers.

    Please keep up the great job you are doing to show everyone how super Straigh No Chaser is. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your stay at the Harrah's Resort.

    Sincerely,
    Gerry

    So glad the Weekend video was posted. Our local station only showed an hour of the whole thing, which I couldn't figure out until I saw other people post about it on FB.

    I watched the Macy's fireworks, you guys rocked, wish they had given you 1st billing rather than the kid. You can sing and if you make an album of 4th of July music I'll buy it. Wanted to hear more of you keep it up.
