<strong>December</strong> 16, <strong>2017</strong><br />
Cypress Symphonic Band invites you to attend our first concert of the<br />
season on <strong>December</strong> 16, <strong>2017</strong>, where we will be combining some of<br />
the music that would have been performed in October and traditional<br />
Christmas music. Due to Hurricane Harvey flooding some members<br />
homes, the decision was made to cancel the October concert.<br />
The concert will be held at Cornerstone United Methodist Church, 18081<br />
West Road, Houston, TX 77095 and will begin at 7 PM. The theme for this<br />
season is “Monsters, Myths, Legends and Heroes.” The selections for this<br />
concert will be “A Most Wonderful Christmas,” “Selections from ‘Wicked,’<br />
“March of the Toys,” “The Anguish of Nosferatu,” “A Mad Russian’s<br />
Christmas,” “Winterfest,” “Sleigh Ride” and the world premieres of “The<br />
Oneiroi - The Thieves of Lost Dreams” and “Vanquish for Band,” two of our<br />
Call for Scores contest winners. We will also hold a Silent Auction during<br />
the concert.<br />
Tickets are $6 presale online or $8 at the door. Tickets are available now<br />
for purchase on the website.<br />
Please note the new start time for the concert is 7 PM. We apologize for<br />
any inconvenience cancelling the October concert and hope that you will<br />
enjoy the “Monsters, Myths, Legends and Heroes” as we present them to<br />
you in <strong>December</strong>. Oh and there will be our ever-popular wassail…<br />

FREE MEMOIR WRITING WORKSHOP<br />
Cypress Historical Society at Cypress Top Historic Park beginning<br />
January 18 th and running through February 22 nd from 10:30 AM to 12<br />
PM. Everyone has a story and everyone has memories. Some of them are<br />
good. Others are not so good. But, all of them are valuable. This workshop<br />
is about preserving your family history, one memory at a time. With the<br />
help of your teacher, coach and mentor you will learn to jar those faded<br />
memories loose, then compose, organize, preserve and share them<br />
electronically for future generations. Jackie Devine loves working with<br />
active writers and people who have never tried to write! This course will<br />
help you understand the memoir writing process: story structure, scenes,<br />
dialogue, character development, tone and voice. You’ll learn that you<br />
are creating a legacy. If desired, stories will be recorded and saved online<br />
where family and friends can enjoy them for years to come.<br />

“Lee’s grandmother had a hideous stuffed<br />
pheasant, which she bought at a garage sale and kept in her home as decor<br />
for years. When she passed away, no one wanted the ugly thing, but no one<br />
could bear to throw it away, either. At Christmas that year, someone dressed<br />

get the pheasant next and what new form it will take. Over the last 20 years,<br />
it has been James Bond, a Texans football player, a lingerie model and a hula dancer, just to name a few.”<br />
Most Beloved Christmas Memory: Two years ago, mom and dad surprised their girls with a trip to New York City to see Wicked , the musical.<br />

But the surprise made family history when the girls were told that their bags were packed and they would depart that evening! Talk about<br />
This family loves to load up in the car with hot chocolate and cookies to enjoy the spectacular displays of lights<br />
around town. They ogle at lights within our local area, as well as the classic River Oaks, the Heights and Pecan Grove neighborhoods, where<br />
the light displays are a must-see every year.<br />
Favorite Christmas Goodies:<br />

What Christmas Means:<br />
New Year’s Plans: This family spends NYE at home but never miss out on a midnight toast to ring in the new year while watching fireworks<br />
going off throughout the neighborhood. They eat black-eyed peas, cornbread and cabbage on New Year’s Day for luck and prosperity.<br />
