Panorama ’76 – the gigantic patriotic musical show set Saturday night in the Marriott Center as part of Provo’s Freedom Festival – is a salute to America and its Bicentennial. But in another sense lt’s also a salute to a remarkable asset here in Utah Valley: local talent that abounds here. With a cast of 500, Panorama features a broad spectrum of talent that manifests itself in scripting, instrumental music, historic re-enactments, variety numbers, the colorful “melting pot” finale on a sprawling map of the United States. lt’s a fund of talent of which Utah Valley can be proud – talent, we feel, that could be presented with pride anywhere in the United States. The Panorama show takes a special type of participant – but in the Freedom Festival as a whole, thousands of people are involved in one way or another – manning committees, building floats, operating concessions, carnival and athletic performers, etc. lt’s volunteer performers like this that makes a celebration go. A salute to all of them!
