December 15th Program
 
This is a picture from last year's program.
Annual Christmas Program
 
     The Auburn High School a cappella group will be returning again this year to provide some holiday entertainment.  Marissa Martinez is the group's director.  The group is an auditioned ensemble made up of some of the most motivated and talented singers at Auburn.
     This is the 2nd year that the group has been running and also the director's second year at Auburn. Last year, the group had a lot of fun performing for Rockford Rotary.
     Since then, they have also performed at school concerts, performed singing telegrams for Valentine's Day, and sang the National Anthem at an Ice Hogs game.
     They are very excited to be performing for you again this year!
     This will be an entertaining and fun program to lift your holiday spirits.  We would encourage you to bring a friend or prospective member to join us either in person at Memorial Hall or via zoom.  Mary Ann Norwood will introduce our pereformers and act as Rotary host.
