Nov 30, 2016

The Tri-County Symphonic Band celebrates the festive holiday season with its annual Children’s Christmas Concert on Sunday, Dec. 11 at 1:30 p.m. in the Sippican School multipurpose room, 16 Spring St.

The concert is for all ages and is free of charge.

The Tri-County Symphonic Band, under the direction of Philip Sanborn, will perform seasonal favorites including “Christmas-Time Around the World,” “Carol of the Shepherds,” “A Canadian Brass Christmas,” “Christmas Calypso,” “That Christmas Tree Jazz” and “Ding Dong! Merrily on High.”

A special part of this year’s concert is a performance by the Sippican School Concert Choir. Under the direction of Patricia Richard, the choir will sing  “Jazz Gloria,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!” and “O Holy Night.”

Also, the kids in the audience will enter a drawing with the winners playing the sleigh bells with the Tri-County Symphonic Band in its rendition of Leroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride.”

The concert will conclude with a “Christmas sing-a-long,” featuring the Sippican School Concert Choir and special guests, followed by the volunteers, “Cottage Street Jam Band,” under the direction of Hannah Moore. They will lead a march from Sippican School to Island Wharf to greet Santa as he arrives via water sleigh.
