In years past, GSP has welcomed holiday travelers with performances from young musicians, with local school bands, orchestras, and choirs coming to the terminal to share festive tunes and experience the joy of performing for an audience. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the holiday music program has been placed on hold. Tanglewood Middle School Band Director Mr. Josh Recinos and his students were kind enough to give us on update on what they've been up to in the meantime. We look forward to welcoming them to GSP next year. 

With holiday travel coming up and plans for 2022 adventures in the works, it's a great opportunity to consider how to travel in an impactful way. Meg James is the founder of Go and Do Good, a resource for choosing hotels that give back to others generously.
