All of the schools in Hanover are having their Christmas concerts within the next few weeks. 

SRSS Band Teacher, Mark Loewen, says this will be the first time in three years they’ve been able to put on a live Christmas concert. 

"Some of us have done like recorded concerts and then sent those out to our families, but this is the first live concert we've done in a few years. We're pretty excited about this.” 

He notes everyone is a little nervous, as for a lot of them, it is their first time being a part of a Christmas concert. 

“They don't know what it's like, and so they don't know why they're getting excited about this,” he says. “Once we've done it once, they'll know why, but they're going into this blind.” 

Loewen encourages you to come on out to the Christmas concerts, especially if you haven’t been to one in a while. 

“It's a pretty special event, and all of the schools in Hanover will put on some pretty great shows.”
