The Athens State University Community Band, under the direction of Dan Havely, is gearing up for their annual Christmas Concert.
Due to the popularity of this event, two concerts are scheduled. There will be a 3 p.m. performance Dec. 13 and an additional 7:30 p.m. performance Dec.14.
The Athens State Alumni Association and the Livingston Concert Lecture Series will co-sponsor the concerts. The Community Chorus will once again join the band to provide vocals to some of the holiday favorites.
A reception, hosted by the Alumni Association, will be held following the Sunday afternoon performance in the parlor of Founders Hall.
Seating is limited and tickets are required for either performance. The admission price is $5 per person. For tickets, call (256) 216-3319.
Both concerts will be held in McCandless Hall on the Athens State campus.
