The annual "Festival of Carols" presentation will take place Sunday, Dec. 12th at 7:30 p.m. at the Boardmore Playhouse at Cape Breton University just outside Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. We'll have special guests joining the Second Wind Community Band and we're delighted to announce that the Band and Choir Students from Sydney Academy will perform at this very special concert along with a girls gospel folk group, "Godsent" and some dancers from the MacArthur School of Dance. There will be a collection and/or donations during the concert and all the proceeds will go to the Every Women's Center in Sydney, NS, Canada.
