You're in denial, but the signs are hard to ignore. Shops are draped in red and green; cocktail parties ?ll your calendar, and you can't button your skinny jeans anymore. Yep, it's the holiday season. As they say, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, which is why you'll be singing at the top of your lungs at the Saint Martin's University and South Puget Sound Community College's "Ring in the Season" holiday concert. The Department of Washington American Legion Band joins the two Thurston County institutions for a lively Christmas pops concert with multiple choral groups, holiday band music and a carol sing-along. Hark you sing!

RING IN THE SEASON, 7 p.m., Kenneth J. Minnaert Center for the Arts, 2011 Mottman Road, Olympia, free admission, 360.596.5507
