Prior to the winter concert on Sunday, Hartem junior class members Kaleb Hoerbert, Robbie Meeker and Dirk Conrady welcomed guests to the class-sponsored dinner in the "Café."

The fifth-grade band performed in its debut concert on Sunday. The band was introduced by music director Kevin Loseke.
 

The sixth- and seventh-grade band has enough experience to play together easily. Directorr Loseke referred to them as "a well-balanced group."

"Jingle Bell Rock" opened the junior high choir's presentation on Sunday, followed by "Hope Is a Hidden Star," "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "'Tis the Season Once Again."

A traditional Spanish carol, "A La Nanita Nana," and "Sleigh Ride" were performed by the Hartem High School choir. Rachel Jordan is the vocal director.

The Hartem High School band is small but includes a variety of instruments that can make a "joyful sound."
 

A traditional Christmas song, "Greensleeves," was first on the list for the high school band, followed by "Celtic Bell Carol" and "Jingle Bell Rock."

Gage Shawgo, whose sister plays clarinet in the sixth- and seventh-grade band, won $52 in the 50-50 raffle sponsored by the Hartem Music Department.
