Warmest winter thanks to all the people and businesses that made Stillwater Music’s 10th annual Winter Wonder Bands gala concert and online fundraiser a big success! Hundreds of people gathered at Adventure Church on Dec. 12 to hear 60 students in nine different Stillwater youth ensembles perform pop, rock, funk, blues, folk, jazz, show tunes and a cappella music.
