\u201cThe focus this year is on sacred music with a modern twist. We\u2019ll do some contemporary and sacred music with a pop element to it. The focus is on the joy of Christmas, the hope of Christmas, and the peace of Christmas, with three movements performed within a 70 to 90-minute time frame,\u201d said Dean of the School of Art, Music and Performance, Bruce Smith. \u201cThere will be some classic songs like, “Silent Night” that will expand into the other elements of a hopeful season before moving into my favorite time, the joy of Christmas and you know it is going to be an unconventional joyful ending!\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salvation Army toy drive is an excellent opportunity for our students and community to give back at a time when it\u2019s really critical. This is one way for students to feel a connection to the community. Gift suggestions include toys, sports equipment, board games, and plush animals. All the donations will be given to children in our area this Christmas.  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\n\n
