The 215th Army Band of the Massachusetts Army National Guard took the stage at Springfield Symphony Hall for a spectacular holiday concert, sponsored by Mercy Medical Center. The annual event drew thousands of people, many of whom filled the main level of the venue.
The 35-member musical ensemble performed part of the concert in small groups, later coming together on stage to perform popular and festive selections. Concert attendees enjoyed the program that featured a blend of patriotic and holiday music, including favorites such as “Stars and Stripes” and "America the Beautiful," as well as “Sleigh Ride” and “Jingle Bells.”
