Public and private school groups perform in the center courtyard of the airport to the delight of the passengers, meeters and greeters, and tenant employees. This year, over 35 elementary, middle and high school groups participated, along with other music groups.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"  wp-image-365 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_8906-300x169.png\" alt=\"IMG_8906\" width=\"467\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_8906-300x169.png 300w, http:\/\/flyjacksonville.com\/jetstream\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/IMG_8906.png 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The performances include choral groups, school bands, and orff bands.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Holiday Music Program\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aWCrLTLl8eM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nWhat a great way to showcase the incredible talent of our First Coast students to harried travelers from all over the country. Many slow down, smiling at the adorable elementary students wearing Christmas hats. Others stop to listen and marvel at the seemingly professional-level performance of a middle school jazz band filling the courtyard with jazzy renditions of Christmas classics.<\/p>\n<p>There are groups who just play string instruments, and other groups whose only instruments are their voices \u2013 or their hands and feet!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2015 Holiday Music Program\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kvD3kCpTYEs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nIt is certainly the most wonderful time of our year!<br \/>\nThe popularity of the Holiday Music Program led to the creation of a Spring Music Program. The Spring program coincides with the week of The Players Championship, when there is a larger number of travelers and golf fans moving through the airport.\u00a0School groups perform their spring programs for a different kind of audience, and they really enjoy it. Passengers enjoy the novelty of listening to mini-musicals while heading to baggage claim, or to catch a flight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a tradition spanning over 20 years.
