However, crowds that would normally stream onto the mall to witness and celebrate that important moment will be held at bay, prevented for security and health reasons from partaking in one of the most enduring and prominent rites in our democracy.

Bells, musical instruments, even pots and pans can create a beautiful cacophony of sound strong enough to waft across the city and onto the National Mall and Capitol Hill, as well as into the homes of viewers across the land.
