Holiday Pyramid Concert to Showcase 550
Musicians
Five
hundred and fifty local young musicians will
offer the Fayette County community a unique
holiday gift of music on December 10 at 7:00
p.m. in the Starr’s Mill High School Gym.
The “Pyramid Concert” will showcase the band
students of Braelinn, Oak Grove and Peeples
Elementary Schools, Rising Starr Middle
School, and Starr’s Mill High School. A
combined 5th grade Elementary Band will
perform, as well as the Rising Starr
Symphonic, Concert and 6th grade bands. The
Starr’s Mill High School Band program will
present three performing ensembles as well
as the SMHS Jazz Band. The traditional
holiday favorite “Sleigh Ride” will be
performed by the three SMHS Bands
simultaneously to wrap up the evening.
Dr. Andrew Poor, Assistant Band Director at
Starr’s Mill High School and Director at
Braelinn Elementary, describes the Pyramid
Concert as “a chance for the members of the
entire band program from elementary to high
school to showcase their musical talents. We
hope that the elementary students and
parents will see what they can accomplish in
just a few short years. When a student
starts on an instrument, the climb up the
mountain can seem overwhelming.”
The public is invited and encouraged to
attend this fast-paced concert event. In an
effort to make the holidays merry for all,
the directors and students are asking
concert-goers to bring a new, unwrapped toy
to donate to the “Toys for Tots” campaign.
