PRESS PHOTOS BY DONNA GEWERTZ The Northampton Area High School concert band performs to the delight of a large audience in the high school's auditorium during a Dec. 10 holiday concert. NAHS and Northampton Area Middle School held their concerts together.

Making the season even brighter, following their performance, senior Wesley Burkit (left) and freshman Jacob Bindics, both members of the high school concert band, display donations for Northampton Area Food Bank. Attendees were asked to bring food items as admission to the concert.

From left, in back, Devon Kurtz, sixth grade; Derek Moyer, seventh grade; and Alex Matecjek, seventh grade, do not miss a beat on the drums, while Jaxon Essig, sixth grade, in front, performs on the saxophone. All are part of the NAMS concert band.

After the holiday concert, father Tony Hirschman and sister Olivia Hirschman, in second grade, congratulate the performance by NAMS band member Emilia Hirschman, eighth grade, and present her with a bouquet of flowers.
