Canadian University College's Silverwinds Band, under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Penner, provided music for the prelude and performed two numbers at the 56th Annual Carol Festival, sponsored by Lacombe's three Rotary Clubs. The band was one of seven community groups that performed Wednesday evening at the Lacombe Memorial Centre, in the heart of Lacombe's arts and entertainment district.
Also performing at Wednesday evening's event were the Parkland Classical Singers, a community choir under the direction of CUC's own Dr. Munroe, and the United Church Senior Choir, directed by Josias Sanchez a 3rd year music major at CUC.
This year's Carol Festival was organized by Elizabeth George, who is both an active Rotarian and a contract professor at Canadian University College. "The object of the Carol Festival is to celebrate our area children and to popularize the singing of Carols, old and new, as well as other music appropriate to the season at Christmas time," said Mrs. George.
"It makes me very proud to see the many different ways CUC's faculty, staff and students enrich life for all of us living in Lacombe," said Mark Haynal, president of Canadian University College.
