Join us for a delightful Christmas concert, "Shades of Christmas," presented by the Glasgow Wind Band. Under the skilled direction of conductor Kevin Price, immerse yourself in an enchanting celebration of the Christmas season through a beautiful selection of music.

Along with the traditional classics, look forward to the iconic melodies of Leroy Anderson’s “Christmas Festival”, the heart-warming tale of “The Snowman”, and experience the reflective and soulful sounds of Frank Ticheli’s “Blue Shades.”

Prepare yourself for audience participation in carol singing and we will welcome sleigh bells, or anything that jingles.

Don't miss this delightful celebration of music and the Christmas season. Book your tickets now and create lasting memories with the Glasgow Wind Band. Visit 

 to secure your seats for “Shades of Christmas.”

This year we will be coming to you from the Assembly Hall at the High School of Glasgow at Anniesland. (If you find yourself at Hyndland Parish Church, you took a wrong turn.)

Enter through the main gate on Anniesland Road, and follow the drive to the main entrance. Limited parking is available on-site.

6. The most wonderful time of the year — 

Dashing through the snow, on a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way (ha, ha, ha);
Bells on Bobtail ring, Making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.



Oh! Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight and sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two forty for his speed;
Then hitch him to an open sleigh and crack, you’ll take the lead!

Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way (ha, ha, ha);
Bells on Bobtail ring, Making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk,
And Mary bore Jesus, all wrapped up in silk,
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly,
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass,
And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross,
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the green wood, it was the holly
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal,
And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all,
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry as blood is it red
Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead:
And Mary bore Jesus Christ our saviour for to be,
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly
Holly! Holly!
And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!
