Tonight's concert repeated the Tchaikovsky & Bernstein pieces, but added selections from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. It was a cute decision, in both concerts, to play West Side Story along with a bit of R&J (more subtly, the SSO did Gounod's "je veux vivre" on Tuesday night).
It wasn't too crowded -- perhaps in part because there were very localized "monsoons" in Dumbo and Tribeca in the afternoon, leading some people to conclude that the lawn would be a mud field -- so I snagged great seats just behind the VIP section. A guy came around a bit after 7pm and gave out these soft rubber rings with flashing lights. Put a ring on it, baby!

The fireworks were nice. Here are some samples:
