he Maine Pops Concert Band concluded its Christmas holiday benefit concert series tonight with a performance at St. Luke's Cathedral on State Street in Portland, ME.
A very large crowd attended the 90-minute performance which also included a 15-minute prelude by the band's flute choir. The band performed the following compositions:

A Fireside Christmas
Bashana Haba 'ah
Brazilian Sleigh Bells
Lux Aurumque
Pat-a-Pan
Winter Rhapsody

Gesu Bambino

The band will now take a two-week break and resume rehearsals on Wednesday, January 10 at 7 p.m. The location will be determined soon, as Scarborough High School will be conducting their winter band concert that evening.
