The Cotter concert and jazz bands held their first performances of the year, on Sunday, December 10, 2017, in the newly refurbished theater of Saint Cecilia on the Cotter campus.

The concert opened with jazz versions of “Deck the halsl” and “I head the bells on Christmas day” by the Cotter Jazz.

Then, the Cotter band continued building the Christmas spirit by performing  “Minor alterations number 2”, “Holiday Portraits” and “The Nutcracker Suite.”

“I thought the concert brought the Christmas spirit to Cotter and it was fun to do it in the new theater.”  band member Nathan Graff said.
