VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - Catch some of the Navy's finest musicians in "Holiday in Hampton Roads," a free concert Tuesday night at the Sandler Center at 7 p.m.

The U.S. Fleet Forces Band will perform a number of holiday favorites across several genres, including selections from The Nutcracker, Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" and a reading of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

"We're really trying to highlight all the things we do well, from New Orleans-style brass band to more kind of upbeat pop music to funny songs and then even classic band literature and things you expect to hear," said LCDR Joel Mark Davidson, Fleet Bandmaster.

News 3 anchor Anthony Sabella will serve as emcee for the concert. Santa and Mrs. Claus will also make an appearance.

Lobby doors open at 6 p.m. and seating begins at 6:30 p.m. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
