We invite you to join us at the Fox Theatre in downtown Spokane for an amazing concert on Thursday, December 14, at 7:30 p.m. Our students have been working very hard to prepare this program for you, so you are welcome to bring friends and family to enjoy it together! Doors open at 6:30 p.m. There are no tickets, so it is first come first seated. The address is 1001 West Sprague Avenue.

All dorm students will need to pack a sack supper during lunch in preparation for going to the Christmas Concert at the Fox. Supper will not be served in the cafeteria.

If you have no other option than to return your student to the dorm before 5:00 p.m., the deans are willing to work with you, but please communicate with them before the break begins.
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!!!
It is imperative that BEFORE TAKING YOUR STUDENT OR ANY OTHER STUDENT FROM THE CONCERT AT THE FOX, YOU CONTACT A DEAN PERSONALLY! We need to know where our students are and who they are leaving with. There will be a dean at each exit door for you to sign out with. Village student performers/parents must sign out with one of the music department staff before they leave the Fox.
