Only 5 more days until Making Spirits Bright! Rehearsals have sounded incredible and so we're feeling extra jolly. Let's make this year's Christmas concert even more festive by having an ugly sweater contest! There will be prizes for our favorites and so don't hold back. All concert attendees are invited to participate.

Also, only a few online tickets remain and so you had better hurry to https://rochesterpops.com/ to secure yours now before they're sold out! But don't worry, additional general admission tickets will be made available at the door the day of the concert. Hope we see you there... in your ugliest sweater!
