If you expect relatives to invite you to school Christmas concerts, frugal families may want to start attending concerts before the holiday season approaches. In this pre-holiday time, parents can gauge the success of having their children at a concert, or "groom" them to behave properly by attending practice concerts such as the ones listed below. The culture boost of doing something interesting and different can't hurt either. All listings are free and open to the public; more are expected to occur as the month continues.
