The Tri-County Symphonic Band, under the direction of Philip Sanborn, will celebrate the holiday season with its annual Children’s Christmas Concert, on Sunday, December 10, at 1:30 p.m. The concert will be held at Sippican School,  in the Multi-Purpose Room.

Organizers say the free concert is a wonderful family experience designed for all ages.

The band will perform seasonal favorites including “Bells," “A Christmas Festival," “An American Christmas," "Three Moods of Hanukkah" and “A Charlie Brown Christmas."

A special part of this year’s concert will feature the Sippican School Concert Choir, under the direction of Patricia Richard, performing a lovely setting of “Jingle Bell Rock," "The Little Drummer Boy" and a colorful arrangement of "Feliz Navidad."

Also, the youngsters in the audience can enter a drawing, where the winners will play 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. They will be followed by a volunteer community band called the "Cottage Street Jam Band," under the direction of Hannah Moore, leading a march from the Sippican School to Island Wharf to greet Santa as he arrives via “water sleigh."
