Annapolis celebrated independence during its 4th of July Parade as marching bands played patriotic tunes, ballet students decorated in American flag colors waved in tutus, and the armed forces and firefighters strode past in the midst of cheering. Note: The fireworks at Annapolis have been rescheduled for 9:15 p.m. on July 5, due to rain on the evening of Independence Day.
