I want to start today by thanking everyone for a great job at the Rock Hill Christmas Parade last Friday! It was the largest crowd I have ever seen for this parade in my 30 plus years of participation, and the excitement in the air certainly helped everyone get into the holiday spirit. Another opportunity to enjoy the sounds of the season is our Holiday Concert tomorrow evening. We will feature the concert band, jazz ensemble, chamber ensembles, and an encore performance of “Home” by the Purple Regiment. The concert starts at 7:30 pm in the auditorium. Admission is free, but we accept donations for the Rock Hill Empty Stocking Fund. A detailed concert information sheet is available by clicking here.
