Fourth of July weekend events in Springfield, Massachusetts include a free concert by the acclaimed U.S. Army Field Band.
The 60-member concert band and 29-member soldiers’ chorus will perform Sunday at the baseball field in Forest Park. The free concert begins at 3 p.m.
Mayor Domenic Sarno said it is an honor for the city to host the band as part of a national tour.
"They are so talented, the music is very patriotic and we have a crown jewel here in Forest Park," said Sarno.
The band’s repertoire includes classical masterpieces, Sousa marches, jazz classics, and Broadway musicals.
