Retired Col. Michael Matondi, Medway's longtime Memorial Day parade grand marshal, has again organized a concert to take place July 30th at 7 p.m. at Thayer House.  For the third year the Navy Band Northeast from Newport will perform.  The event is free and all are welcome.  This event is sponsored by the Medway Lions.

Established in 1974, Navy Band Northeast is based on board NAVSTA Newport and is one of 11 official U.S. Navy bands worldwide, providing musical support for military ceremonies, recruiting, morale and retention programs, and community relations.  Under the direction of Lieutenant Gregory Fritz, this group of 35 professional Navy musicians supports more than 300 engagements annually throughout an 11-state area of responsibility, performing regularly for high-ranking military and civilian dignitaries, Navy Recruiting, public outreach and awareness efforts, and partnership in education programs throughout the Northeast United States.
