130 Tuba and Euphonium players met in Mason City on Saturday, December 9,  to play carols and spread Christmas cheer.  The performers met downtown at Center Court of Southbridge Mall for an hour concert filled with holiday revelry, jocularity, seasonal lights, and beautiful Christmas music.  Jeff Kirkpatrick of Osage rehearsed participants and later conducted the program which was attended by a huge audience who often joined the festivities by singing along.

South Hamilton area performers included Tim Herschberger, Valerie Krumm, Linsey Carlson, and former South Hamilton students Shawn Martin and Bruce Jolivette.
