Holiday Extravaganza!
The Seven Lakes HS Fine Arts Department is delighted to present our annual “Holiday Extravaganza” on Thursday, December 8th on the campus of Seven Lakes High School. This holiday event features performances from all of our Fine Arts, accompanied by dinner and a silent auction: it’s a night not to be missed!
Our Freshman Center doors open at 5:30p and dinner, catered locally by Peachez, will be served in the Freshman Cafeteria. You’ll be welcomed by our string ensembles performing chamber music, delightful dances from our dance classes, spirited serenades from the Sensations, and laugh-out-loud matches from Comedy Sportz. The concert, which starts at 7:30p will showcase performances from our Chorale and Symphony Orchestra, a stirring narration of the poem “T’was the Night Before Christmas,” and the highlight of the evening is our Not-So-Silent Auction where the auction winner could bid to win an opportunity to conduct the Symphony Orchestra.
Proceeds from the Dinner Tickets, Silent Auction, and Concert directly benefits our upcoming performances, including this year’s musical, Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Ring in the holiday season by attending this event and support the award-winning Fine Arts Department! Ticketing goes live on November 11th, so visit https://www.studiovii.org/tickets to purchase your night of incredible entertainment!
