The Nevada County Concert Band, under the artistic
direction of Cheryl Woldseth, wraps up and puts a big red bow on its 2017
season by presenting a fun-filled concert in the style of the holiday radio
shows of the past!
Enjoy
favorite seasonal tunes played by our 60-member band, plus special appearances
by several of our ensembles. Noah
Grove, the band's 2017 Jerry Foote Scholarship recipient, will perform a
fabulous clarinet solo. And the Band Hands get into the fun too,
delivering mirth, merriment, and witty stories, including old-fashioned sound
effects, just as they did in the radio programs of yesteryear.
From a German toymakerÕs workshop to ÒMy Favorite
Things,Ó there are songs for everyone to enjoy. Reminisce with a fireside Christmas, and
listen in as Santa decides which reindeer to recruit for his nightÕs ride. The bandÕs many ensembles add spice to
this mix, as does a trombone soloist on ÒWhite Christmas.Ó The yuletide continues with
French-Canadian and Romanian tunes, plus the ever-popular ÒSanta Baby,Ó SousaÕs
march ÒThe Thunderer,Ó and much more.
This
concert is perfect for the whole family, plus there are refreshments and more
in the lobby.
So put on your best holiday attire (or ugliest Christmas sweater) and get into
the holiday spirit!
This
benefit concert supports the Nevada County Concert Band, a 501(c)3) non-profit organization.
This concert was broadcasted
live on the radio too!
