The annual Bluffton elementary Christmas concert

It's Bluffton annual sell-out concert.

Over a 12-month period there's nothing in Bluffton that quite compares to the Bluffton elementary Christmas concert.

Place all Kindergarteners through fifth graders in the east side bleachers of the high school gym. Fill the floor with seats. Open the doors about 60+ minutes prior to the concert and before you know it, it is standing room only.

How Alice Basinger handles it, we don't know. Does she get any sleep the night before?
