"The Seasons Thru Christmas" is the theme for this year's Village-Aires Christmas program. The program will be presented twice, first on Saturday, November 19 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, November 20 at 3 p.m. at the Fieldcrest High School Gym. Tickets are $5 for adults in advance. They are $5.50 at the door. Children's tickets are $2.00

The program will begin with "See You in September." Then we progress into autumn as the men sing "Shine On Harvest Moon." Then it is "In December" and onto a "White Christmas." For Christmas there will be Santa Claus for the kids. This time it is "Rock 'n' Roll Santa Claus." Then the kids will join us on stage for a number.

Christmas religious music will be the second half of the program. The entire group will sing "Angel Celebration", "Psallite", "Silent Night, Silent World" which is based on Antonin Dvorak's "Largo from Symphony No. 9, New World." The women will present "I Wonder as I Wander." The entire group will end the concert with "Joyful and Triumphant" which presents several familiar carols.
