The Hagerstown Community College Alumni Association will host the U.S. Navy Commodores as part of its annual Red, White and Blue Summer Concert Series, on Saturday, Aug. 13, at 6:15 p.m., in HCC’s Alumni Amphitheater.

The U.S. Navy Commodores feature 18 of the Navy’s premier jazz and big band musicians playing under the direction of MUC Andrew W. Francisco.

Known for its high energy performances, the Commodores fuse classic jazz and big band music with the popular music of today, and frequently perform original compositions.
