Trombone Christmas 2024 – Another Success!

Fundraising Concert, Trombone Holiday Music

:

What a Joyful Trombone Christmas!

The Trombone Christmas concert at Emmanuel Lutheran Church was a resounding success! The church was filled with cheerful music lovers of all ages. An incredible 51 professional trombone players brought the house to life, with Bill Reichenbach conducting most of the arrangements. A special moment came when Steve Holtman took the podium to lead his fun arrangement of We Three Kings, captivating the audience.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised $5,010 for the Hearts of Music cause, along with an additional $1,200 from CD sales. On top of that, PayPal contributions totaled $2,433!

As 2024 comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your kindness and support. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025!

A massive shoutout to our amazing Hearts of Music volunteers, including the fantastic Missy Kelly and Deborah Check, and the unwavering support from board members Nancy Ackerman and Fran Reichenbach. Their dedication turned the greeting area into a lively hub of positive energy and cheer. It’s safe to say that this year’s concert was not just a success; it was a celebration of community spirit and the power of music to bring joy and support.
