ELLISVILLE \u2013 The Â鶹ֱ²¥ Fine Arts Department is pleased to continue its partnership with the Salvation Army in providing a bit of Christmas cheer for kids in the Pine Belt. The public is invited to begin the holiday season by attending this year\u2019s Christmas show, \u201cSanta\u2019s Swingin\u2019 Pajama Party\u201d on Thursday, November 29, at 7 p.m. in the M.P. Bush Fine Arts Auditorium.\u00a0 This whimsical and very kid-friendly show invites everyone to wear pajamas and listen to Jazz, Swing, Pop and all of your favorite Christmas songs.\u00a0 Admission is one, unwrapped toy<\/strong> for the Salvation Army\u2019s Angel Tree program<\/u>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to work with Bruce Smith who is directing the Christmas Show this year featuring our musical and vocal groups and a few guests from the North Pole!\u201d said Fine Arts Division Chair, Mark Brown.\u00a0 \u201cWe want to stress the purpose of our Christmas production is to provide toys for children who normally may not have much of a Christmas. We hope our local angels will be able to give a Santa filled sled full of gifts with a little help from our audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gift suggestions include toys, sports equipment, board games and plush animals. All the donations will be given to children in our area this Christmas.\u00a0 Necessities and Christmas gifts are provided for disadvantaged children from infants to age 12, through the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program in Jones, Jasper, Wayne, Clarke, Smith and Simpson counties.<\/p>\n

The Christmas Show will feature an evening of beautiful holiday favorites like the JC Voices group will perform, \u201cSing We Now of Christmas,\u201d under the direction of Dr. Susan Smith. \u201cSilver Bells,\u201d and \u201cLet it Snow\u201d will feature the JC Jazz Band under the direction of Dr. Ben Burge and The Bridge will sing, \u201cChristmas Song\u201d along with other Christmas favorites like \u201cMary Did You Know?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our students receive scholarships and this is an opportunity for them to give back to the community while also highlighting their talent in a fun show,\u201d said Brown.<\/p>\n

Show hosts include, \u201cJingle and Belle\u201d who are two of Santa\u2019s\u00a0elves, along with JC Voices, JC Jazz Band, The Bridge, Touch of Gold dancers and special guests, \u201cKen and Barbie,\u201d and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
