Musical Christmas Star, 77 x 77 inches, by O.V. Brantley, 2002.

India

There is nothing like a band concert to get you in the Christmas spirit. I attended the Lovett Holiday Band and Orchestra Concert last night which was themed Around the World at Christmas Time. Consistent with the last eight years that India has been a member of the band,  the concert was fun and uplifting. The sing-along at the end made everyone leave happy.

The musicianship of the students is always amazing. As a one time clarinetist, my favorite was Sleigh Ride because of the challenging clarinet  part in that song. However, Eric Espenschied’s rendition as the narrator of Twas The Night Before Christmas as the band played was absolutely amazing!

Musical Christmas Star is one of my many Christmas quilts. I hope you make beautiful music a big part of your holiday.
