Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door for $8, but this concert is expected to sell out. There is street parking only.
They estimate the concert to be over at approximately 9:30 pm.
Since we are not performing our own concert this December, I hope you will all enjoy this lovely musical tribute to the season.

Here is a brief overview:

1. We move to our position on the SL aisle during "Once in Royal David's City." Other choirs except one leave. We move to SL steps.
2. Opening prayer
3. We sing "Sing We Now of Christmas."
4. We remain during another song, then exit SL through chapel and into atrium.
5. We are in the atrium for Lessons 1-6.
6. We enter to SL steps and stand there while Pius Percussion Ensemble plays, then we sing "O Come Little Children."
7. VAA exits to atrium and remains there for Lessons 7-9.
8. On the audience singing "The First Noel" VAA enters to SL aisle and sings "Peace, Peace" with combined choirs.

One other thing, we will be in the atrium for a long time and there will be no chairs, so bring a coat you can sit on. Otherwise you will be sitting on the bare floor.

See you Friday night!
