The 15th annual High School Festival of Holiday Music, sponsored by The Herald, will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Hickory High School's new auditorium.

While the concert is free, goodwill money donations will be accepted at the door for The Herald's Good News Fund that provides Christmas turkeys for needy families. Some free tickets remain and will be available at the door.

People with tickets are guaranteed a seat if they arrive before 7:15. After that, the general public will be admitted without tickets being necessary.
