The Navy Band Northeast’s Showband is coming to the North End for a ParkARTS Waterfront Concert sponsored by Comcast and the Friends of Christopher Columbus Park in partnership with the Marriot Long Wharf on Saturday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m., the first show in Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s 2010 ParkARTS live concert season.

The Waterfront Concert at Christopher Columbus Park is presented for music lovers of all ages by Mayor Menino and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department as part of the 14th annual citywide ParkARTS program sponsored by Bank of America.

One of the most sought-after big bands in the Northeast, the Newport, RI, based Northeast Navy Showband travels extensively in support of local community and educational events such as public concerts, music clinics, and jazz festivals. The band is comprised of five trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, a rhythm section, and vocalists. This group of talented musicians from across the country performs big band favorites by such notable artists as Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, the Brecker Brothers, Glenn Miller, and more.

Navy Band Northeast was officially established in 1974, and is one of 11 official bands of the United States Navy. Under the direction of Chief Musician Todd Smeltzer, the band is located on board Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, and serves the military and civilian communities throughout the Northeastern United States.
