Blood Drive @ Hartshorne High School - Monday, December 15th from 9am-3pm

Our students put on a great Christmas Concert last night. Both the choir and band sounded fantastic, and we’re proud of all their hard work.
We also started a new tradition that means a lot to our music program. Our band director, Mr. Phelps, reserved a seat in memory of his father-in-law, Mr. Tony Skinner, who taught choir here for many years and passed away on April 21, 2025. Before he passed, Mr. Skinner told Mr. Phelps he’d be at every concert, and Mr. Phelps promised to always save him a seat.
Last night, that promise was honored with a photo and a reserved sign, and Mr. Skinner’s daughter even joined the band on French horn. We’ll continue this tradition at future concerts as a small way to remember Mr. Skinner and the lasting impact he had on our school.
