Ornament Concert Promises to be a Holiday Blast

The Mansfield Men’s Ice Hockey Booster Club has bagged Trans Siberian Orchestra[TSO] tribute band Ornament for this year’s .

Ornament has been around for years entertaining audiences all over New England. Last year, they won Limelight Magazine’s Readers Poll Award for 2010 Best Tribute Band.

There will be lights, holiday music and they can also make it snow indoors.

“They basically do the same kind of show that [Trans Siberian Orchestra] does, but on a smaller scale,” said Joe Callahan of the Mansfield Men’s Ice Hockey Booster Club.

Callahan has helped to organize the show, both this year and last. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets can still be bought at the door for $15. Ornament played last year’s MHS Ice Hockey fundraiser as well.

Last year we had Ornament, this is the second year in a row we’ve had them,” Callahan said. “I don’t believe the school has had anything like this before until we started bringing them in.”

The show mimics TSO live performances and also covers their songs beautifully. One of the band’s apparent attractions is that it brings a modern feel to classic holiday music.

“It’s a great time for anyone, from age 4 to 84,” he said. “The show really rocks.”

This year’s show will also feature additional performers from MHS on stage.

“This year, we’ve partnered with the MHS Choir and the MHS Select Choir,” Callahan said. They‘re going to sing 3 songs with the band during the show.”
