Wide World of Women

A dress rehearsal for the Memorial Day Concert was held Saturday evening in Washington.
Pia Toscano (recent American Idol finalist) performed the National Anthem and "I'll Stand By You".
Hosts were Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna.

This is from footage I shot - you'll notice my earlier clip is steadier than the last one. The Park Service asked people to take down their tripods, so I was handholding a slightly heavy HD cam the bulk of the show. Plus, there was dealing with people walking by, and finding a good spot.
A good cause, and Pia looked sweet to top it off.
