WinterFest 2026
Join us for a special WinterFest as we celebrate GCA’s 20th anniversary! Enjoy food, games, vendors, and a little holiday shopping at the auction to support our music programs. Our orchestra, band, and choir will perform throughout the day—listening to our student musicians is always one of my favorite parts! Between performances, grab a bite, catch up with friends, and check on your auction bids. The Uniform Closet will be open too. GCA is thriving after 20 years, and that’s worth celebrating! Bring the family, round up your GCA friends, and join us for a day of music, holiday fun, and Spartan spirit!
What to Expect
Come Spend the Day With Us!
Grab something to eat, play some games, check out the vendors, and cheer on our kids as they perform. Catch up with other GCA families and stop by the Uniform Closet while you're here!
Performance Schedule
Music All Day Long
Performances take place during WinterFest, 11 a.m.–3 p.m. Santa arrives at the end of the choir set, with Neely 6th graders joining!
Auction
Donate an Auction Item
Have something you'd like to donate—or know a business that might want to help? Sporting event tickets, movie passes, gift cards, fun experiences, services, and gift baskets all make great auction items. Donations from families and businesses are welcome!
Bidding will stay open until the announced closing time, then we'll announce the winners!
Please submit your item donation and drop your item off at the GCA front office no later than Monday, November 23, 2026. Use the Donate an Auction Item form at the top of this page — drop-off details are on the donation page.
Class Baskets
Contribute to a Class Basket
Each class puts together a themed gift basket, and families can pledge items toward their class's basket. The finished baskets will be auctioned at WinterFest, with proceeds supporting GCA's music programs — orchestra, band, and choir. See this year's themes and pledge an item on our Class Basket page.
