Kicking off the Christmas
season at Appalachian State University, the Mariam Cannon Hayes
School of Music presents their tenth annual Scholarship Christmas
Concert Friday in Farthing Auditorium.
“The audience for our concerts seems to get bigger every year,
and I see people smiling when they leave every year,” said
Dr. Stephen M. Hopkins, concert coordinator and director of choral
activities, Monday.
Hopkins coordinates who and what is performed in the concert.
Work for setting up this concert began at the beginning of this
semester, but most of the work had to be done individually.
The main practice is Friday afternoon before the concert. This will
mainly be a traffic pattern rehearsal, Hopkins said.

| Soulive: A.P.P.S. final concert this
year |

Anyone who has taken
the time over the course of the semester to stop and look at flyers
posted in W.H. Plemmons Student Union or University Post Office
has undoubtedly seen Soulive’s name plastered over every conceivable
spot allotted for advertising. The two-month promotion campaign
is the work of Peter Van Schoick.
Van Schoick, a sophomore at Appalachian State University, has worked
tirelessly to get the word out on Soulive’s upcoming show,
presented by Appalachian Popular Programming Society (A.P.P.S.)
Stage Show Council, of which Van Schoick is currently chairperson.
While all A.P.P.S. shows are given a sufficient amount of promotion,
Van Schoick has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Starting
two months ago, Van Schoick began posting flyers daily. Three days
before the show, he walks through the student union greeting friends
in passing, only to turn back and ask “So I’ll see you
at the Soulive show, right?”
