Springfield Band, Dance Factory team up
for July 11 Children’s Concert

The Springfield Community Band will present its very popular Children’s Concert at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 11 under the direction of Nick Pelton.

The concert will feature the first-ever collaboration between the band and dancers from The Dance Factory in Springfield. They will present Prokofiev’s well-loved story of Peter and the Wolf, with choreography by Ashley Hensel-Browning.

The performance will take place at The Commons Park, 63 Cherry Hill St. (formerly Summer Hill St.) in Springfield, across from the cemetery. Please bring a chair.

The band urges everyone — kids and adults — to wear pajamas and be ready to have fun.  Kids will dance the hokey pokey and can take a turn conducting the band.

As always, there will be free ice cream for all.
