Bringing the Music to Independence Day Celebrations.
For most Americans, the 4th of July is a fun day off from the grind of the summer work week. But for many of the bands available for hire on DanceBands.com, the 4th of July means a day hard at work. Our job on the 4th is to help all those hard-partying, patriotic vacationers have a fantastic holiday.
This Independence Day our bands were out in force, playing at both public and private events. One such event was the public, Sandy City celebration. Thousands of locals filled the grassy lawn in front of an open-air main stage to see the crowd-pleasing, party band the Salamanders play this spectacular 4th of July bash for the fifth time.
Opening the set in the early evening with a stirring rendition of the National Anthem, lead singers Rickae and Jordan Robbins brought the patriotic crowd to its feet.

After opening on such a promising note, the band promised to deliver an exciting evening of high-energy music that would include just about everyone’s favorites. Listeners got comfortable in lawn chairs or settled down onto blankets with their families. But no matter where you looked, people were on their feet, getting into the show and enjoying the music.

There was this little guy in his tie-dyed shirt jamming to some Rascal Flatts (or the theme song to Cars as it’s known to most pre-schoolers.)
Onstage, percussionist Joel Stevenett was rocking things with a little “Uptown Funk.”
“Dang! Salamanders are tearing it up in Sandy tonight!” posted Stacie Raddatz (@stacijanrad), just one of the fans who shared her enthusiasm for the band on Instagram. Cody Anderson (@grainedgeut) tagged the Salamanders with this post, “Putting on one hell of a show again.”
As the sun set and the light went with it, families and friends pulled out glow sticks to play in a music-filled night under the stars. The park sparkled with the luminous glow of fans bopping to “Beat It” or grooving to “I Gotta Feeling” while lit up by neon necklaces and bracelets.

After almost two and a half hours of dancing fun and awesome vocals, the band ended their set and turned the time over to a local radio station that would M.C. the fireworks display that followed. But for many of those at the celebration on that starry night, the best “Fireworks” were the ones the Salamanders sang about in a fantastic, high-energy performance.
If you missed this event, be sure to catch the Salamander’s next performance or book the band for your own private event.
