HJ Crosby Band concerts

Whether you are feeling a little “grinchy” or feeling the magic of the “Polar Express” or in the mood for traditional Christmas tunes or HJ Crosby’s “Adeste Fideles” march, set aside an hour to join in the holiday spirit. The Harold J. Crosby Community Band of Dexter will present two holiday concerts.

The first is Thursday, Dec. 15 at 6 p.m., as part of an event to support the Giving Tree, at 7 Water Street at the St. Albans Town Hall. Admission by donation.

The second is Sunday, Dec. 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center 8-12 Main Street Dexter. Please use the public entrance in front, there is a ramp behind the building if needed.
