Army Band strikes a chord in Ansonia

 

The Rockville-based 102nd Army Band performs big band standards, jazz, Sinatra and more Wednesday night at a free summer concert at Veterans Park in Ansonia. 

 

For one set some of the musicians went into the audience. I was seated in the front row and when I turned to my right I found a trombone next to my face.




My husband Ralph and I enjoyed last year's performance, and last night the musicians didn't disappoint. It was a fun concert.

Looking forward to their return visit next summer.
