Don't forget that on Tuesday the only appropriate movie to watch is V for Vendetta.
With real canons.
@LnzyHou @ThrasherPrime No, save the poor pets' ears.

This is my favorite recording of the 1812 Overture, with real cannons and church bells ringing at the end. Enjoy!
1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky, played by the Musical Society of Spain)

Every 4th of July, the Denver symphony played the 1812 Overture in Washington Park. We went every year.
Enjoyed our picnic while listening to its magnificence with our kids. Then the canons went off, smoke rose and I cried while my sons laughed at me.
Great times.

There were several years that the Oregon Symphony did a free outdoor concert at Waterfront Park around Labor Day that would close with the 1812 Overture. The Natl Guard would bring 3 cannons to participate in the piece. A couple years there was also fireworks from a barge on the Willamette River! My favorite part is the chimes/bells towards the end. It brings tears to my eyes when I hear it in person! So moving!
@ThrasherPrime I tried a burn the orange guy fawkes day in 2016 it didn't work.
@ThrasherPrime Or at least play the 1812 Overture.
