Martina McBride’s Joy of Christmas

The Christmas Spirit was brought to life at the Dubuque Five Flags Friday evening (Dec.1st).  Martina McBride's The Joy of Christmas came to town.  Martina performed in front of a SOLD OUT audience for just under 2 hours.

The evening kicked off with "Let It Snow", "Silver Bells", "Winter Wonderland"
and "Do You Here What I Hear".  A tribute video honoring local servicemen/woman was shown.  Martina sang "I'll be Home for Christmas" and "White Christmas" in their honor.  There was something for ever age.  For the kids or the kid at heart; the story of the How the Grinch Stole Christmas was shared with a musical twist.
Martina then came out in the audience to ask questions, posed for a few photos and even witnessed a marriage proposal.  She then sang "Please Come Home For Christmas" and "Blue Christmas" with special guest Elvis Presley.
After another quick change (there were 7 outfits total) Martina sang traditional songs like;   "O Come, All Ye Faithful", "Silent Night", "What Child is This",and concluded with "O Holy Night".
But no  Martina concert couldn't end without singing just a few of her hits; "Love's the only House", "This One is for the Girls", "Blessed" and "Anyway" ended the evening.

What a uplifting, spiritual and energetic night of wonderful music by an amazing singer. I think everyone left the concert in the Christmas Spirit; if they were not already.

Thanks to Five Flags for bringing this concert to the area. Let's keep on bringing more shows to the area.
