The Tri-County Symphonic Band celebrates the festive holiday season with its annual Children’s Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 13 at 1:30 pm in the Multi-Purpose Room of Sippican School, 16 Spring Street, Marion MA. The concert is a wonderful family experience designed for all ages and is free of charge.
The Tri-County Symphonic Band, under the direction of Philip Sanborn, will perform seasonal favorites including “Holiday Emblem,” “Ding Dong! Merrily on High,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and “March of the Toys.”
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 “We are Santa’s Elves,” “The Little Drummer Boy,” and a colorful arrangement of “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”
Also, the youngsters 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 a volunteer community band called the “Cottage Street Jam Band,” under the direction of Patricia Richard, leading a march from the Sippican School to Island Wharf to greet Santa as he arrives via “water sleigh.”
