This truly is A Season of Giving as the TCA Big Band & VocalAires are proud to team up once again with our patrons and the Tecumseh Service Club by collecting non-perishable food and personal care items at the door to be distributed in Northeast Lenawee County. Since the band’s inception in 2004, our supporters have donated hundreds of pounds of canned goods, pasta, paper products, personal items, and more to local families. We would like to make this the best year yet, so if patrons would like to help by donating, they can bring items to the lobby area on the day of the show. The Service Club will gratefully accept monetary donations as well. Donated food, personal care items, and monetary donations will be delivered by the Tecumseh Service Club to families in need throughout the Tecumseh, Britton-Macon, Clinton, Ridgeway, and Tipton areas in time for Christmas. Tickets are now on sale for the Sunday, December 15th concert, and are only $10 each. They can be purchased by calling 517-423-6617, or by stopping by in person at the TCA Box Office, 400 N.

The event is sponsored by the Elizabeth Ruthruff Wilson Foundation (ERWF) and will take place Sunday, November 10 at 4:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Music will be provided by the Peace Jubilee Brass Band. In the spirit of the great American Peace Jubilee of 1869 comes the Peace Jubilee Brass Band.

To spruce up the event, they appear in period attire to add to the authenticity of their show! Don’t miss their fun afternoon at the TCA filled with polkas, quick steps, schottisches, marches, and even waltzes, where couples are allowed to embrace each other— how scandalous! Guest Speakers include Tecumseh Mayor Jack Baker, Local Historian Bob Elliott, and Elizabeth Ruthruff Wilson Foundation President Theresa Powers.
