University of Massachusetts

Everything is coming up roses for the UMass Amherst Minuteman Marching Band.

The 400-member strong band is in California preparing to perform on New Year’s Day in the Rose Parade.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with band director Tim Anderson.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
