An extra helping of Liberty

Dewayne Bevil | Theme Park Ranger

July 4, 2008

There's no truer slice of Americana in our theme parks than the Voices of Liberty, a patriotic a cappella singing troupe stationed within Epcot's American Pavilion. The primary gig for the group, outfitted in Colonial attire, is performing in the lobby before screenings of the building's inspirational film The American Adventure. The song list varies from show to show but typically includes Americana tunes, a dream-oriented Disney number and a salute to U.S. troops, past and present.

In honor of Independence Day, Voices of Liberty will perform a longer, customized show today at Epcot's America Gardens Theatre. Showtimes are 12:30 p.m., 1:45 p.m. and 3 p.m.
