U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (KOAA) — The U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) says that it's bringing its annual holiday concerts "home" for the first time.
They're inviting the community to join the Academy Band's annual holiday concert, "Holly & Ivy," on December 3, 4, and 9, in the Arnold Hall Theatre.
The show includes a pre-concert reception, which begins at 6:00 p.m., featuring multiple cadet musical performing groups and opportunities to speak to cadets about their experience at the Academy.
The concert begins at 7:00 p.m. and will include selections from Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Elf the Musical, and a surprise guest.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome the greater Colorado Springs community into our “home” on the installation for this year’s production of Holly & Ivy. The addition of the reception at 6 p.m. in the Ballroom is an amazing opportunity for people to meet and learn about our Cadets and their journey through the Academy while also celebrating the season. Just as meaningful to us - the Holiday shows are our way to show thanks to all who support the Air Force, the Cadets, and the Academy Band year-round.
The concerts are free and open to the public, but tickets are required and can be secured online here.
