As the country celebrates its 250th anniversary, Oklahoma musicians of all ages took to the stage in commemoration.

Inside a performing arts center at scenic Quartz Mountain State Park in late June, the 145th Army Band warmed up before a concert. Outside, students with the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute played frisbee, caught up with friends or awaited their turn to hit the stage later that night.

It is OSAI’s 50th anniversary, which also coincides with America’s 250th.
