HOLIDAY BRASS CONCERTS
REPORT
Thanks to 16 Sages Members who
volunteered to serve as ushers for three Holiday Brass
performances at Manchester United Methodist Church on
December 2 & 3, 2024.
Holiday Brass Concerts are
organized by Susan Slaughter, trumpet player for the
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.The proceeds
benefit the International Womens Brass Concert for
scholarships to support students to begin their
careers as brass musicians.
All of the beautiful music
selections get the Christmas Season off to a great
start for everyone
Our Sages Members have served as
ushers for these concerts for many years.We have been
requested to again serve as ushers
for the December 1 & 2, 2025, performances.
On December 10, 2024, thirty-six
Sages members gathered at the Whitmoor Country Club
for our first afternoon Holiday Tea Dance.As usual,
the Country Club was attractively decorated for the
Christmas Holiday season.The meal
was spectacular: generous portions of chicken and
salmon entrees excellently prepared, tasty salad and
rolls, and delicious key lime pie; and the service
was excellent.
Our favorite band, Trilogy, under
the direction of former MDC/Boeing employee Bill
Grosch, provided dinner music and dance music of a
wide variety of styles, along with many holiday
favorites.
Thanks to all who attended.Thanks to
our co-chairs, Shirley Dean and LaDonna Higgins, for
their work in collecting the reservations and
preparing the nametags.
In view of the reluctance of many
of our members to drive at night, the Sages
Executive Board decided to hold our annual Holiday
dinner dance in the afternoon.If you
missed it this year, please endeavor to join us next
year.
