A Florida Family Christmas – Rebuilding Through the Joy of Music
The Southwest Florida Concert Band will perform A Florida Family Christmas Concert, with feature vocalist Janna Braun, on Sunday Dec. 18, at 2 p.m. at South Fort Myers High School, 14020 Plantation Road, in Fort Myers.
Our 35 member community band will perform a concert of seasonal music and give the audience an opportunity to join in a sing-a-long of their favorite carols. The program will start the journey with An American Christmas and the Christmas classic, The Most Wonderful Time of Year. One of the highlights of the show for the young and young at heart will be music from the films Polar Express and How the Grinch Stole Christmas which is sure to bring out the kid in all of us.
Guest vocalist, Janna Braun, will sing the You Raise Me Up and the Grown Up Christmas List to inspire strength to overcome difficult times. The band will perform Festive Sounds of Hanukah, ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride and more. There will also be a visit from The Brass Monkeys brass quintet for a couple of numbers. Bring your best voices for a chance to sing along with the band on some favorite Christmas carols.
It is a not to be missed performance of the newest concert band in Southwest Florida.
All concerts are free with donations accepted. Information on the group, scholarship program, and other performances can be found at www.SouthwestFloridaConcertBand.org.
