cannon sound

Cannon sounds have sometimes been used in classical pieces with a military theme.

It is useless to flash bright visions before the eyes of one who loves darkness; useless, too, is it to let the grand roar of the cannon sound in the ears of one who loves repose and the quiet of the country.

Charlie graduates from Winslow High School and after getting home from his graduation ceremony, Charlie promises Sam that they will practice baseball together every day until he leaves for Stanford; at sunset when the "Bailey's Yacht Club" ceremonial cannons sound.
