The 2011 Brookings Legis Fellows headed to celebrate the 726th birthday of Switzerland at the Swiss Embassy in Washington, DC. 

In this clip, performers play the Alphorn, conduct Fahnenschwingen or flag swinging, and at the end Talerschwingen, or making music by keeping a coin going in a ceramic bowl.  Each of these activities are Swiss traditions.
