Merry Christmas! Lesson Scholarships and a special MMC performance!

 Hello band and orchestra students and parents,

Merry Christmas!
Great work in the concert! So proud of all the work the kids have put it!

1. We are so excited to offer a lesson scholarship for HCHS band and orchestra students. Have you thought about lessons, but the cost made you pause or decide not to do lessons? We want to help you thrive as a musician and taking lessons on your instrument is one of the best ways to do this. This is also a great way to prepare for solo and ensemble festival.
Please fill out this form if you are interested. Submit this form by Thursday, January 6.

2. The bands are so excited that their next performance is at De Vos Hall in Grand Rapids as a featured band for the Michigan Music Conference. I have 2 free tickets for each student to give to family members so that they can join us at this performance. If you are unable to use your tickets let us know so that we can give them to other fans of the HC bands who would like to attend.

Congratulations to the Holland Christian High School Symphonic Band, which was selected to perform at the annual Michigan Music Conference in Grand Rapids! This HCHS group is one of 7 bands and orchestras from across the state invited to perform at the 2022 conference. The group will play for music teachers and musicians from all over the state of Michigan on Friday, January 28, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. You are also invited to attend this exciting event. Tickets for the HCHS performance at DeVos Performance Hall will be available to the general public at the box office and also via this link: https:/michiganmusicconference.orgtickets
