The New Holland Band will hold its spring concert on Sunday, March 29, at 3 p.m. in the Good Shepherd Chapel at Lancaster Bible College, 901 Eden Road, Lancaster.

The annual concert began in the late 1950s and marks the beginning of the ensemble's performance season.

The program will include Rimsky-Korsakov's "Procession of the Nobles," Shostakovich's "Festive Overture," selections from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon," a medley of tunes from rock 'n' roll legend Billy Joel, and marches such as "The Standard of St. George" and "Mars der Medici."

The special guest will be nationally recognized trombonist Jim McFalls. The retired U.S. Army veteran was a featured soloist and lead trombonist with the Jazz Ambassadors, an Army touring ensemble. He has performed at jazz festivals, including Montreux, Nice, North Sea, and Newport, and he recently concluded his career as a member of Towson University's jazz and commercial music studies faculty. A native of Columbia, McFalls graduated from Columbia High School in 1977 and studied with the longtime New Holland Band trombonist and euphonium player Russ Sumpman. Sumpman was a mentor to many of the New Holland Band's low brass players who, like McFalls, went on to have successful careers in some of the nation's most prestigious music ensembles. McFalls played in the New Holland Band from 1974 until joining the Army in 1977.
