Battle of Monocacy Commemoration Planned for July 10

Is there a write-up of the day's events somewhere?
Hi, Bruce--they haven't issued anything formal yet, but from what I understand, the current plan is to have artillery demonstrations at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. The Monocacy Field Music will play proceeding those demonstrations.

I've also had some inquires from infantry units about the event, but can only refer them to the park--not sure if they have planned an encampment or other activities yet.
 
The NPS is planning to commemorate the Battle of Monocacy in Frederick, MD on July 10, 2021 at the Monocacy National Battlefield. The event will include several artillery demos throughout the day and Field Music presentations by the Monocacy Field Music. If you're in the area, stop by!

Huzzah! The Monocacy Field Music had a great day at the 157th anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Monocacy! We played 3 music demos at the Visitor's Center, as well as several side sessions. Nice weather made for an enjoyable and well-attended event!

I attended and was very, very impressed with the music group! It's not something that I would have even guessed I would enjoy, but I most certainly did.
Thanks, @rob63! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll certainly pass it along--I know the rest of group will be thrilled to hear it as well! 🙂
