Dr. James Hurley and his family will host the lighting of a triad of evergreens and offer the opportunity to join together for some pre-concert caroling. Hot apple cider and hot chocolate will be served.<\/p>\n<p>During the holiday concert, the audience can expect to hear new and exciting arrangements of familiar Christmas songs performed by the Handbell Choir, the Jazz Band and the Concert Band.<\/p>\n<p>The Handbell Choir will be playing \u201cCarol of the Birds\u201d by Jason W. Krug, \u201cEmmanuel&#8217;s Night\u201d by David Price, \u201cChildren, Go Where I Send Thee\u201d by Benjamin A. Tucker, and \u201cRiu Riu Chiu\u201d by Sondra K. Tucker.<\/p>\n<p>The Jazz Band will offer their versions of the Christmas classics \u201cJingle Bell Boogie\u201d by Bryan Kidd, \u201cThe First Noel\u201d by Bob Curnow, \u201cLet it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!\u201d by Roger Holmes, \u201cSanta Claus is Coming to Town\u201d by Dave Wolpe, and \u201cJoy to the World\u201d by Richard DeRosa.<\/p>\n<p>The Concert Band will bring down the house with a longer set filled with lesser-known songs such as, \u201cAppalachian Snowfall\u201d by Bob Phillips and George Megaw, \u201cCandlelight Carol\u201d by Jay Dawson, \u201cWhen Saint Nick Comes Marching In\u201d by Robert W. Smith, and \u201cBring a Torch\u201d by David Shipps.<\/p>\n<p>Band director David Price is excited about the chance to showcase the band program\u2019s talent to the public, especially Tusculum students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully students will enjoy the music we play. It will give them a break from their studies to see an on-campus event. They can earn an arts and lecture credit and see their college peers perform alongside a few community members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The local community is encouraged to attend the performance, which is free and open to the public. The event is offered as an arts and lecture credit for Tusculum College residential students. More than 300 people are expected to be in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-15843\" href=\"https:\/\/www3.tusculum.edu\/news\/featured\/2017\/tusculum-band-program-hosts-christmas-concert-and-tree-lighting-ceremony\/attachment\/xmasband-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15843\" title=\"xmasband\" src=\"https:\/\/www3.tusculum.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/xmasband1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www3.tusculum.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/xmasband1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www3.tusculum.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/xmasband1.jpg 622w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By Taylor Rose, junior journalism and professional writing major from Clarksville<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spirit of Christmas will echo across the Tusculum campus on Thursday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m., as the Tusculum Band program presents its annual Christmas concert in the auditorium of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the concert at 6:30 p.m., there will be a tree lighting ceremony in front of Byrd Fine Arts Building.
