Like all students of Carson High School over the past 16 years, Honors Student Tyler Warren, since his freshman year, thought about what he would be doing for his senior project, a graduation requirement for every student who hopes to receive a diploma from CHS.

The Carson Chamber Singers, directed by Michael Langham, present a pair of concerts — Saturday, March 5, and Tuesday, March 8, at 7:30 p.m. — both at St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 314 N. Division St. in Carson City.

String players of all ages and levels are invited to join the eighth annual Christmas Carol Play-along on Friday, Dec. 18, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. inside Carson Mall. This free event is hosted by Carson City Symphony Association and Carson Mall.

Violin, viola, cello, bass, and harp players are welcome to come and play. Bring your music stand. Everyone else, come and listen or sing along. Admission is free.

To play, contact Sue Jesch at 775-450-5584 or sue@tahoefiddler.com for sheet music and information.

Senior student Taylor Weddell presents the following information about her senior project. “At Carson High, every senior participates in a Senior Project, I wanted to do something completely different and still help some kind of organization or group. I jumped at the opportunity to participate in an event that brings a community together, raises funds and breaks a world record. It was a little intimidating for sure, but I’m working closely with the Board of Directors of the Carson City Schools Foundation and learning so much in the process.
