The elementary schools weren’t the only groups holding holiday concerts this week.

Lisbon’s concert band and jazz band performed Tuesday, Dec. 10 at Lisbon auditorium.

Lisbon director Joseph Arch said he appreciated the dedication his band members showed for preparing for concerts.

“On top of their school work and other extracurricular activities, they all come and dedicate to playing music,” Arch said.

Mount Vernon’s music concerts Sunday, Dec. 15, featured all of Mount Vernon’s choirs, as well as Swingin’ Stangs, orchestra and concert band.

The Swingin’ Stangs were supposed to perform alongside Amy Friedl at the Paramount on Saturday, but a decision was made due to the ice storm Saturday for the safety of students that would not happen.

Director Scott Weber said his students worked so hard to prepare for that performance, but mother nature disrupted that plan.

Friedl performed alongside the two songs she was going to perform with the Swingin’ Stangs at Sunday’s performance instead.

Lisbon choir took to the stage as well Monday, Dec. 16.
