The Holland College Community Band, The Welshmen, will present its 14th annual holiday concert on Tuesday, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Florence Simmons Performance Hall.  

The band is comprised of members from all walks of life – from university and college students to music graduates, community members, and many long-time musicians. The band gives musicians the opportunity to make music together on a weekly basis and to perform in public concerts throughout the year.  

Under the direction of Christine Blanchard, the band is rehearsing seasonal favourites, but Blanchard said the arrangements are far from standard. 

“This year's concert theme is Holiday Tradition with a Twist, so be prepared for some cool variations on some popular tunes,” she said. 

Admission is free, with donations to the band fund or to the food bank gratefully accepted.
