WINTER CONCERTS

The annual WINTER CONCERTS for the multi-talented, multi-award-winning PVHS Jazz Band I, Jazz Band II, Orchestra, and Choir are fast approaching! Let’s PACK the venues with family and friends to show how much we proudly support our musicians and their teachers.
The Concerts, both instrumental and choral, will once again be organized and managed by the Tri-M Music Honor Society members.

  • The Jazz Concert will be held on Wednesday, December 9, in the PVHS MPR at 7 pm.
  • The Orchestra Concert will be held on Thursday, December 10, in the PVHS MPR at 7 pm.
  • The Choral Recital will be held on Thursday, December 17, at St. Francis Episcopal Church at 8 pm.
    • Admission to the Jazz and Orchestra concerts will be $2 or 2 canned food items for adults, $1 or 1 canned food item for students and children. All money and food will be donated to a charity for the holidays.
    • “MUSIC NOTE” can be purchased and personalized for only $2.00. A “Music Note” is a special “telegram” that you can write a short congratulatory note to your favorite musician.
    • We will have a donation raffle for gift cards. Proceeds to go to the music department.
    • Complimentary finger food and desserts at intermission. Beverages can be purchased for $1.00 each.
    • At the Jazz and Orchestra concerts we will be selling tickets for the Third Annual Honors Recital.
