A new patriotic song will debut at this year’s Fourth of July celebration at the Trophy Point Amphitheater at West Point.
Grammy, Tony and Emmy winner Bill Sherman, of Croton-on-Hudson, composed “Hand-in Hand” to honor 250 years of Army heritage. Sherman, known for his work on "Hamilton," "In the Heights" and "Sesame Street," wrote the piece specifically for this military milestone.
“It’s a tribute to all of the service men and women of our country, and it’s a very patriotic and proud song,” Sherman said. “It sort of encompasses everything they do.”
The evening will include patriotic music, stories of service and a fireworks finale.
The free, family-friendly event begins at 7:30 p.m. on July 4.
