The 15th annual High School Festival of Holiday Music, sponsored by The Herald, will be staged at 7:30 p.m. today 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. Some free tickets remain and will be available at the door.

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