Details: Explore a section of this 350-acre forested park in Hoover on a moderate hike with some climbing up and walking down hills on Shades Mountain. We’ll experience the preserve’s diverse natural features which include longleaf pine forests, huge boulders, grassy areas, outstanding views and several beautiful streams and waterfalls which hopefully will be running bountifully when we are there. We recommend that you bring hiking poles with you on this hike if you have them. Please bring water to drink.

Please meet at 10:00 a.m. at the Moss Rock Preserve Parking Lot on Patton Chapel Road. We plan to depart from there promptly at 10:15 a.m.

Here is a link to the website for Moss Rock Preserve, where you can print a map of the trails in Moss Rock Preserve for use on this hike or on future hikes there on your own.

Information and Trip Leader: David Shepherd, 205/240-4681

OCTOBER 24, SATURDAY, 6:40 p.m.

Southeastern Outings people attend the Alabama School of Fine Arts Fall Music Celebration

Where: : Dorothy Jemison Day Theater, 800 19th Street North, Birmingham, AL 35203, on the Alabama School of Fine Arts campus.

Details:You are cordially invited to come with me to a fabulous Alabama School of Fine Arts (ASFA) Fall Music Celebration Concert on Saturday, October 24, 2026. For your enjoyment all the school’s Large Music Ensembles music ensembles will perform musical selections.

These ensembles include:

  • The school choir (which is all 67 music students enrolled in the school) directed by Ms. Cathy Spence, voice teacher at the school
  • The school orchestra (about 40-some students) conducted by Alex Fokkens, Chair of the ASFA Music Department
  • The ASFA Singers, the eleven absolutely superb female voice majors currently enrolled at the school plus two young male students who also specialize in voice—all directed by Ms. Cathy Spence, voice teacher at the school.
  • The 24-musician student jazz ensemble plus jazz combos formed from selected jazz musicians in the jazz ensemble—all conducted by Dr. Robert Janssen.
  • The ASFA Strings (a new student music group)

    • They will be performing works from the traditional music canon by composers from varied backgrounds, including Russia, America, Mexico and further afield.

    These performers are not typical high school music students. All music students at this school spend 3+ hours of each school day in music study, practice and rehearsal and are graded on all of their music performances.

    The concert itself begins at 7:00 p.m. The concert will feature 67 student musicians, a small number of community musicians, and a selection of time-honored music.

    After the concert there will be a reception with food in the school lobby adjacent to the theatre lobby. Come, catch the spirit!

    Admission charges

    • Adults $15
    • Students and Children (age 2 & up) $8

    Please note that the Theater Reception Manager (who is also the box office manager) prefers that in order for you to purchase your own ticket(s), you pay for and reserve them using their website.

    Please be advised that Dan Frederick currently has 3 free tickets to give away to the October 24 Fall Celebration Concert at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. He will make these free tickets available to the first three people who inform him specifically that they would like to use these free tickets to this performance. If you definitely plan to attend this performance and you would like to reserve one or more of the 3 free tickets, please contact Dan immediately, telephone 205-631-4680 or email danfred4497@gmail.com.
