WATCH: Randolph-Macon Academy’s 2018 Christmas Concert

The Randolph-Macon Academy (R-MA) Christmas Band Concert was on Sunday, December 16th at 4:00 pm. This free concert took place in Boggs Chapel on the R-MA campus.

The Royal Examiner’s camera was there to capture the event. Sitting in the balcony in Boggs Chapel provides a birds-eye view, but the sound is wonderful. It’s quite a distance to the stage and the camera might jump and the microphone may not capture the sounds as it really is – but it was enjoyable, so sit back and enjoy this Christmas moment.

The Virginia 091 Air Force Junior ROTC band consistently wins awards throughout the East Coast; most recently, the band won first place for junior/senior high school bands in the 93rd Alsatia Mummer’s Parade held in Hagerstown, Maryland on October 27th.

We spoke with RMA BandMaster Ed Richards after the concert.

Reminder that the American Legion Community Band will present its annual Christmas Concert on Tuesday, December 18, 2018 at 7:30 pm in the R-MA Chapel in Front Royal.  It will be a free concert although a love offering will be collected for the local C-CAP charity. There will be music to please everyone, including traditional carols, a beautiful chorale and light-hearted selections sure to delight kids and grown-ups alike. Take time to enjoy the beauty of the season and welcome Christmas with the celebration of music.
