Because of the event's large scope, volunteers will be needed to perform tasks such as assisting with details ranging from ushering folks to their open seating to answering questions regarding the day's event.

"We could use your help, if you and/or your family members and friends may be available that Sunday," said Mike Thornton, a member of Norwood 150, the commitee organizing the event. "If you could help us out for a few hours on June 26, we would be grateful. Of course, you'll also get to hear - and most likely see - a world-class performance that day for free from the legendary Boston Pops. We would love to see you there."
