The Tusculum University Community Band performs its Christmas concert in 2022.<\/p><\/div>\n

The ensemble will hold its annual Christmas concert Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. in the Marilyn duBrisk Theatre of Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Center. The theme for this family-friendly event will be \u201cA Declaration of Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concert is free and open to people of all ages. Donations are welcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we celebrate the Christmas season, we invite the community to spend a fun evening with us,\u201d said Dr. David Gonzalez, the university\u2019s director of bands, who will conduct the concert. \u201cWe love to perform this concert every year and to enhance the Christmas spirit within the community. Our band has worked extensively to create a show that will delight our audience with a nice variety of songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Traditional Christmas songs the band will play are \u201cGreensleeves,\u201d arranged by Alfred Reed; \u201cFantasia on Silent Night,\u201d arranged by Julian Bond; \u201cA Christmas Festival\u201d by Leroy Anderson; and \u201cSymphonic Prelude On Adeste Fidelis\u201d by Claude T. Smith. Dr. Gonzalez said Reed\u2019s version of \u201cGreensleeves\u201d is the original band version.<\/p>\n

Other songs on the playlist are \u201cChristmas Declaration (A Holiday Flourish for Band), arranged by Robert W. Smith; \u201cA Christmas Tale (Beware the Krampus)\u201d by Leroy Anderson; and \u201cThe Nightmare Before Christmas,\u201d arranged by Michael Brown.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gonzalez said the band has also prepared a special encore song, but he is keeping the name a secret \u2013 for now. Those who want to discover the name of that song have an easy way to learn it \u2013 by attending the performance.<\/p>\n

A new element to the concert will be entertainment in the lobby beforehand. As the band completes its final preparations inside the theater, pianist Susan McKenzie and vocalist Bonnie Straub will perform songs in the lobby while guests wait for the concert doors to open.<\/p>\n

The band has 45 members playing an array of instruments.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe Tusculum University Community Band plays an integral part in supporting the quality of life in our region,\u201d said Rouja Green, director of the higher education institution\u2019s Center for the Arts. \u201cWe are so appreciative of the community members and the faculty, staff and students who perform in this band and enrich personal lives through their exceptional music. Through Dr. Gonzalez\u2019s leadership and the band members\u2019 commitment, the Tusculum University Community Band contributes significantly to our arts programming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band has 45 band members and plays an array of genres, such as classical, jazz and contemporary. New this year are a brass choir, sax quartet and woodwind ensemble from within the band that perform at other functions. Dr. Gonzalez said more people are welcome to join the band and can share their interest by emailing him at dgonzalez@tusculum.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After this concert, the band will have three more performances as a group during the remainder of the concert season. They will be held Feb. 27, May 7 and the Independence Day holiday weekend.<\/p>\n
