Looking forward to Advent/Christmas events!

Dear band and orchestra students and parents,

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving and happy snow day!

1. Please note the location of our Christmas concert this year.

The High School Music Department invites you to its annual band, orchestra and choir Christmas concert on Saturday, December 15, at the Jack H. Miller Center for the Musical Arts, located on the campus of Hope College. We will be offering two performance times for those who would like to attend: one at 2:00 p.m. and one at 4:00 p.m. Follow this link to make a free reservation for which concert you would like to attend. Those who do not have access to the internet will be able to make reservations through the high school front office. The number of reservations for each of the performances will be limited. In this way we hope to be able to offer a seat to everyone who would like to attend. We look forward to sharing in the celebration of our Savior’s birth through our music.

2. Band and Orchestra students have an opportunity to volunteer, help a great cause and earn service hours! Help move toys for the Central Wesleyan Church's Christmas Store on Wednesday, Dec. 5 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. I will have a paper sign up in class on Tuesday and Wednesday. Every year, the Christmas Store ensures that nearly 400 families have access to great Christmas gifts for their children as well as the opportunity to experience the gift of Jesus.
