Horns a Plenty Christmas began as a single event each year on the Saturday before Christmas, hosted by the Fox Valley Horn Club and its director, Don Krause. Over eighty horn players would come together from all over the state of Wisconsin (and some even further) to perform Christmas carols for the Appleton and Fox Valley community. Now, HAPC is in five cities for 2011! Guest artists are featured in conjunction with the events held in Appleton and Milwaukee, performing solos and leading masterclasses for the participants. In addition, Horns a Plenty Christmas offers music scholarships to French horn players through attendance fees, book sales, and donations.

Honorary members: Jeff Nelsen, Eldon Mattlick, Bernhard Scully, William Barnewitz, The American Horn Quartet, Andrew Pelletier, Richard Chenoweth, Gail Williams, Randy Gardner, Lydia Van Dreel, Richard Todd, Geoffrey Winter, Jonas Thoms, Martin Hackleman, and Steven Mahpar.
