Despite the winter storm, the main roads are clear and the secondary roads are clearing. The concert, Krampus and Carols, will go on today as scheduled at 3:00pm. We will delay the warmup to 2:00pm and the setup to 12:45pm. Please make your own determination as to your personal commute. Also, keep in mind your commute back home will occur after the concert is over around 4:30.

When you drive to the performing arts center, it would be better to turn left onto Southwinds and right onto Highway 170. A left turn onto Hunter, Highway 170, would be onto a secondary winding hilly road.
