Members of the MidSouth Symphonic Band have planned a rollicking Christmas concert to be held at Ringgold High School, 29 Tiger Trail in Ringgold, Georgia, on Sunday, Dec. 15.

Jim Souders will conduct the 3 p.m. concert. Admission and parking are free.

The concert’s program will be a blend of sacred and secular music, including several fun, new arrangements.

The Christmas fanfare “Ornaments!” will open the concert. Souders says “Cowboy Christmas” and “We Wish You a Mambo Christmas” will have audience members laughing and toe- tapping.

“‘All the World is Silent’ beautifully evokes ‘Silent Night,'” he says. “Other sacred Christmas melodies include ‘We Three Kings’ and ‘What Child is This?’
