Recapping from our Christmas concert before the holidays, on December 20th the Performing Arts Department presented their 6th annual Holiday Spectacular. The concert included familiar hoilday favorites like Winter Wonderland, Sleigh Ride, numerous carols, classics such as Greensleeves, In the Bleak Midwinter and an Audience sing-a-long. The newly formed Choir and Chamber Choir performed as well. This year the concert band was accompanied by Bronson-Norris Murphy, returning to Bardstown after his performance as Stephen Foster in 54th season of the Stephen Foster Story, as he sang the classic White Christmas. Bronson was joined by Aundrey Ligon and Heather Heim as they sang "Christmas on Broadway" a medley of holiday showtunes. For the second year in a row the concert concluded with Mr. Eric Gilpin, principal of Nelson County High School reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" with the Concert Band accompanying.

Regional Concert Band Festival is March 20th and 21st at John Hardin High School

These are the two pieces being performed by the Nelson County High School Concert Band this year.
