CHRISTMAS CONCERT
Thurs, Dec 8, 7pm
Christmas is coming and in addition to the goose getting fat, the Concert
Band is gearing up for its annual holiday concert. The band under the
direction of Conductor Jean Butler has every intention of spreading joy
and enhancing holiday spirits through an uplifting music program.
“I’ve put together a festive music lineup,” said Butler, who’s been at the
helm of the band for 20 years, serving as its conductor. “I believe people
are going to leave the concert feeling upbeat and humming their favorite Yuletide songs.”
For weeks, strains from seasonal compositions have filled the rehearsal hallways as Butler directed a notable list of traditional and contemporary music. Some of her favorite selections feature tunes such as “Home Alone Christmas”, “Celtic Carol”, and “Jingle Bells Forever”. And for those who
like to sing, they are invited to join with the band as they play the “Christmas Sing Along”.
So, pull out the old red and green sweater and invite family and friends to share in the enjoyable occasion! The program is guaranteed to evoke
feelings of joy, warmth, and even memories from previous good times.
There’s nothing like the sounds of the season to serve as a head start for setting a great holiday mood.
The annual event is set for 7pm on Thurs, Dec 8 at North Lake Presbyterian Church in Lady Lake located at 975 Rolling Acres Road. Tickets are
available for $15 through the band’s website or from band members at
the door. For those who prefer to arrive with tickets in hand, the following

Attendance Policy for playing a Concert
As we continue grow
in quality of
performance and quantity of members
it is imperative to
have full attendance
at rehearsals. We all know that there are
very good reasons
why people are not
able to attend every rehearsal and those reasons are respected; however, the following guidelines have been established to insure
the highest level of performance that we
can possibly achieve.
It is expected you
attend at least 1/2 of
our rehearsals as well
as the dress rehearsal
in order to be able to perform at any
Concert. If for some reason you are unable
to achieve this, you
will still retain your membership in the
Band, but will not perform at that particular Concert.
You know how much practice you need in order to play the
music well, but keep
in mind that the full group needs YOU!
To achieve the proper blend and balance of
the ensemble, it is necessary that you are at each rehearsal to contribute your part
so the Director can make the necessary adjustments.
If there are special circumstances in not being able to meet the above requirements please contact the Director and you will
be notified of any exemption which
might be granted.
I hope you understand and support the
policies mentioned above while we
continue to improve musically.
