Christmas In July - Thank You!

Christmas in July at Merchants Square in Colonial Williamsburg with Red Tenor Saxophone was a success—because of the generosity of residents and visitors, we came very close to goal of raising $100 each day Friday-Sunday, July 23-35, for donations of food and supplies to F.I.S.H. (Friends In Service Helping).  Thank you!  Red Tenor Saxophone is grateful for the support for F.I.S,H., the kind and encouraging comments, the appreciative audiences, the sing-alongs, and the good cheer.  Later this week we will have an update on the donations to F.I.S.H.  December is almost here—start planning now for your holidays with Red Tenor Saxophone!  Through the summer and fall, look for Red Tenor Saxophone in Merchants Square and elsewhere in Williamsburg, the Peninsula, and Southside Hampton Roads.

Christmas in July Day 2 - You Did It Again!

Red Tenor Saxophone was back on Saturday, July 24 for Christmas in July at Merchants Square in Colonial Williamsburg for an early-evening performance of "holiday favorites"—and once again, the generosity of residents and visitors brought us to the goal of raising $100 each day for F.I.S.H., Inc. (Friends In Service Helping)!  Thank you!  It was an enjoyable evening of music in Merchants Square, with a vocal chorus and a colonial fife-and-drum trio also sharing Christmas music.  Red Tenor Saxophone will be back again at around 5:00 tonight (Sunday)—and we'll see if we can meet today's goal!
