The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public! Come mark this milestone at a free, open-house style event, celebrating community, creativity, and joy. Dance to music on the plaza, create art with your family, and snapshot your place in this historic moment.

Catching up, skipping from musical act to musical act. A happy visual is the perennial Sousaphone sitting on its stand. I'm three-quarters through a number and someone's wearing it again (it's a marching Tuba, truth be told) but hasn't played it yet
One of the Spanish singers has the crowd on their feet, he says over an instrumental "It's okay to dance out there" and the sign language interpreter signs "go/ leave, dance"
fantastic

I told you, this Sousaphone is everywhere. I'm determined to find him actually playing it.
Even #TheBoss must acknowledge its presence...
