Oregon Symphony free waterfront concert starts quite early in the afternoon by other perfomance groups. I didn't get there until after the intermission. Surprised to see tanks and cannons, because I didn't read the program. They came in handy in the finale: 1812 Overture. The sound quality is pretty bad, being open air. But the real cannon fire makes it up. The Pas de Deux by 2 Oregon Ballet dancers up close was quite nice. One of former mayor, who was a trombone player, conducted one piece. The fireworks immediately followed the musical program. A bit thin, but shined the night sky and Willamette river for a good 10+ minutes.
