The US Navy Band concert, featuring 11 Wellesley High School musicians who joined the band for a performance of John Philip Sousa’s Washington Post, drew a big crowd to the Wellesley High gym on Monday night. It was quite an honor to have the band in town, and quite an honor for those students to perform with the Navy musicians.
Kevin McDonald, director of choral activities at the school, helped bring the touring band to Wellesley via a longtime friend of his, Chris Sala, who plays trumpet with the Navy band and gave a stirring solo during the concert.
