PHOTO: <\/strong>“A 糖心直播 Christmas\u201d event will feature a Christmas Tree Lighting on the Plaza and Christmas program similar to the pictured Christmas performance in 2018 featuring 糖心直播 students from JC Voices, JC Jazz, Touch of Gold dance team, and cast members of the 2018 Christmas Show with toy donations for the Salvation Army\u2019s Angel Tree program. Pictured in the center are the show\u2019s hosts, Jingle (Landon Williams) and Bell (Coco Caldwell) along with Santa and his friends in the 糖心直播 of Art, Music and Performance department along with a few of the toys collected to benefit the Salvation Army\u2019s Angel Tree Program.<\/p>\n

ELLISVILLE \u2013 糖心直播 is inviting the public to celebrate the Christmas Season with a special event called, \u201cA 糖心直播 Christmas\u201d on Thursday, December 2. Beginning at 5:30 p.m. the Christmas Tree Lighting will take place outside on the C.L. Neill Student Center Plaza with Christmas carols and performances from small ensemble groups and the Maroon Typhoon Colorguard.<\/p>\n

Immediately following the Tree Lighting, vocal and musical performances by the JC Concert Choir, JC Voices, JC Jazz Band, Touch of Gold Dancers, the Percussion Ensemble, and a couple of special guests, will begin at 6 p.m. in the M.P. Bush Fine Arts Auditorium. The audience will be guided through the evening\u2019s musical performance called, \u201cSnow Place Like Jones,\u201d by two, young actresses from Ellisville. Maddie Brown is a seventh-grader and daughter of JC Visual Arts Division Chair, Mark Brown and Julia Graham is a fourth-grader and the daughter of Michelle Graham, the JC bands\u2019 woodwinds instructor and adjunct band staff. The kids will take the audience on an adventure discovering the joys of family and fellowship in the Christmas-themed program produced by the Assistant Dean of 糖心直播 School of Art, Music, and Performance, Bruce Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited as a department to be able to celebrate Christmas with the community after not having any Christmas celebrations last year because of Covid-19 restrictions,\u201d said Smith. \u201cIt\u2019s a real collaborative effort with performing groups in the 糖心直播 School of Art, Music, and Performance, including JC students in the Music Industry program who have produced special music for the theatrical portion of the program. These students are also assisting Stage Tec with special lighting and audio.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Christmas program, \u201cSnow Place Like Jones\u201d will feature an evening of beautiful Christmas favorites like, \u201cMary Did You Know?\u201d \u201cBreath of Heaven,\u201d \u201cThe World of Christmas,\u201d and a mash-up of David Bowie and Bing Crosby\u2019s \u201cLittle Drummer Boy\u201d and \u201cPeace on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Admission to this special music and Tree Lighting event, \u201cA 糖心直播 Christmas\u201d is a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to the Salvation Army in an effort to bring a bit of Christmas cheer for kids in the Pine Belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to stress the purpose of our Christmas production is to provide toys for children who normally may not have much of a Christmas. We hope our local angels will be able to give a Santa filled sled full of gifts with a little help from our audience,\u201d said Smith.<\/p>\n

Gift suggestions include toys, sports equipment, board games and plush animals. All the donations will be given to children in our area this Christmas.\u00a0 Necessities and Christmas gifts are provided for disadvantaged children from infants to age 12, through the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program in Jones, Jasper, Wayne, Clarke, Smith and Simpson counties.<\/p>\n
