As announced earlier, Limestone will welcome the world-renowned “TubaChristmas” concert as part of the festivities on Saturday, Dec. 5, beginning at 7 p.m.

“TubaChristmas” is a music concert, held in various cities worldwide, celebrating those who play, teach, and compose music for instruments in the tuba family, including the tuba, sousaphone, baritone, and euphonium.

The tuba players from around the state and region will be performing “Joy To The World,” “Deck The Halls,” “Carol Of The Bells,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Angels We Have Heard On High,” “Silent Night,” “O Christmas Tree,” “Jingle Bells,” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”

The Limestone College Chorus will also be performing during three of the musical selections. Reverend Ron Singleton, Limestone’s Chaplain, will be reading “The Christmas Story.”

Limestone President Dr. Walt Griffin will officially light the College’s Christmas tree.

There will also be opportunities for local children to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, and “Bernie” the Limestone mascot. Drinks and snacks will also be available.

The annual Limestone luminaries will be lit at 5 p.m. They will be placed on the front campus, and portions of College Drive and other areas near the College.
