Upcoming Concerts this week

Don't forget the two performances today: one by the Hartland Community Band at the Holy Hill Shrine, and the other by the Milwaukee American Legion Band at Milwaukee Lutheran High School. Both concerts are at 3 PM.

There are two concerts coming up this week for your listening pleasure.

The first is on Friday December 11th at 7:30 in Shattuck Auditorium on the campus of Carroll University. The Waukesha Area Symphonic Band performs their annual concert of Holiday music. The performance will include music by smaller ensembles within the band, as well as full band pieces. Admission is $5, but free admission will be given to all who bring non-perishable food items for the Waukesha Food Pantry. Items in need include peanut butter, canned chili, stews and meats, canned vegtables, pasta, rice, and soups. For more information, see their web site: http://www.wasband.org/.

And on Saturday December 12, the Menomonee Falls Symphony Orchestra celebrates the Holiday Season with their first Holiday Pops Concert. In the past, the Symphony performed a Sing-along Messiah. This year, they chose a Pops concert. It begins at 7:30 on the 12th in the Hamilton Fine Arts Center attached to Sussex-Hamilton High School. See their web site for more information, including directions: http://my.execpc.com/~regent/mfso.htm

Enjoy the concerts. They are a nice respite from the hustle and bustle of the preparation for the Holidays!
