As we head into the time of year where calendars rapidly fill with all sorts of holiday gatherings and get-togethers, we wanted to give you the date of an event we’re especially looking forward to. The Tidewater News is proud to be hosting the U.S. Air Force Heritage of America Band, which will perform a free community Christmas concert on Thursday, Dec. 5, in Franklin High School. The performance is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

The concert band, comprised of more than 40 professional airman-musicians, performs annually for approximately 60,000 people. The show should be spectacular, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it. Information about the concert and the band will be included in an upcoming story in The Tidewater News.

Please make sure to put this event on your calendar. It will be a fun night of terrific music and community fellowship. We look forward to seeing you there.
