Christmas Concert Information

The HHS Choir Christmas Concert will be held on Thursday, December 13 at 6PM in the evening. We will be performing in the sanctuary of East Highland Baptist Church. Students need to arrive, in concert attire, no later than 5PM.

I understand that there is some confusion about the time of the concert, and I realize that is has been traditionally held at 7PM. However, in order to accommodate the Hartselle Christmas Parade that is being held on the same evening, we had to move our concert time a bit earlier. Students that are in both choir and band do not need to worry about being late to the parade- I have spoken with Mr. Key and he is OK with it.

We are asking all students to bring in 2 new AA batteries. We need them before the concert. Please send them with your student either this week or next.

We are very excited about this performance and are ready to share what we've been working on for the last few months with an audience. We promise you won't be disappointed!
