Asheville High School band holds craft fair to fund spring trip

The award-winning Asheville High School band is pleased to invite the public to celebrate the joyous sounds of the season, as well as the talented craftsmanship of the musicians and their families, with its annual Holiday Symphony Concert & Craft Fair. Under the direction of Will and Emily Talley, the festive event takes place in the historic main building of Asheville High School.

This year’s program showcases upbeat and traditional favorites, such as a medley entitled “Joyful All Ye Nations”, “Twas the Night Before Christmas”, “Hanukah Celebration”, and fun new tunes like “Cowboy Christmas.” Tessa Kvalvik, one of the band’s multi-talented drum majors, will sing a beautiful carol for the crowd.

Asheville is known for its highly creative residents, and AHS band members are no different. Students and their families have been working on items for the craft fair for weeks. Items for sale this year include: hand-crafted jewelry, baked good, truffles stained glass and other ornaments, flavored olive oil, scarves, hats, gift boxes, candles and more.
