Hanceville, AL — Wallace State Community College’s Fine and Performing Arts programs will be hosting its annual Christmas Spectacular on Thursday, Dec. 12. This free event will include performances from all Wallace State performing ensembles.

 

“The Christmas Spectacular is one of just a few shows where all of our performance groups will share the stage,” said Ricky Burks, Chair of the Wallace State Fine and Performing Arts programs. “Each ensemble will have at least one performance in the holiday show.”

 

The production will feature performances from the Wallace State Jazz Band, Concert Band, Percussion Ensemble, Choir, Singers, and Allegro Dance Theatre. The programs will present pieces individually and collaboratively to bring the ensembles together while also spotlighting individual programs.

 

The set list includes a performance of “Dashing Through the Snow” by the Concert Band and “March From the Nutcracker” by the Allegro Dance Theatre. The Choir and Singles will have you singing along with several holiday favorites including "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree," "Silent Night" and "Christmas Isn't Cancelled," all accompanied by the Jazz Band or Concert Band.

 

The performance will be held at 7 p.m. at the Betty Leeth Haynes Theatre in the Garlan Gudger Student Center. Admission is free and open to the public.
