All three award winning music organizations of SLHS combine for a beautiful concert of Holiday music only to be rivaled by Jones Hall!
Our Varsity Band, Choir and Orchestra will present such classics as “Carol of the Bells”, Suite from “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “Sleigh Ride”, “White Christmas” and many others in the beautifully decorated Seven Lakes Performing Arts Center. Santa will be making a special appearance to read a story. Bring the whole family.
Don’t miss the pre-concert dinner featuring more entertainment from our award winning performing ensembles including: Theatre’s “The Seven Minute Christmas Carol”, Sensations Show Choir, 7L Jazz Band and Spartan String Quartet. The 9th Grade Center festive decorations will whisk you to a Winter Wonderland while our delicious dinner will be catered by Peachez Eatery, a Katy owned catering business with a diverse menu for any occasion. Chicken, beef and vegetarian options are available with advanced ticket purchase. Dinner patrons gain early seating to concert before doors open.
A silent auction with gift baskets and holiday decorations takes place during the dinner as well. Themed baskets include: Date Night Essentials, Composer’s Bounty, Bourbon Bonanza, Lucky Lottery, Stocking Stuffers, World of Beer, World of Chocolate, Snacks Galore, Cooking Cornucopia, Game Night, Pooches Presents, and many more. A surprise “not-so-silent” auction takes place just before the finale of the concert. It’s always a surprise who wins each year!
Holiday Extravaganza is a delight for the whole family! This fundraising event supports Seven Lakes Fine Arts, particularly the Spring Musical and Masterworks Series. This fabulous fundraising event was canceled last year due to Covid restrictions. Please come out this year with friends and family to support our Fine Arts Students and recoup lost funds.
