The U.S. Air Force Heritage Brass, a 14-piece ensemble, offers a free concert on February 11. 

March brings The Country Gentlemen Show on the 12th, blending traditional and contemporary bluegrass sounds.

Contestants vie for a $1,000 prize at the My Time to Shine Talent Competition on April 11.

Six performances of "Hairspray" close the season in June under Singletary's direction. Performances run from June 10 to June 14.

Season tickets go on sale September 15 at 1 p.m. School performances open for booking September 11. Ticket prices range from $15 to $35, and if you pick five shows or more you get a 20% discount.
