One Special Gift
One Special Gift was Common Ground's 2011 Christmas concert. Guests included Leta Neusteader and Oliver Thompson. It featured a collection of traditional favorites along with some not so traditional songs including "The 12 Pains of Christmas and You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch.

The Music of Our Lives
The Music of Our Lives was a musical tribute featuring the music and words of Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Jerry Herman, Peter Allen and Paul Jabara. These song writers and performers have died or a living with HIV Aids. Songs included selections from the Little Shop of Horrors, Mame, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. We also debuted Beautiful Idaho, Wild and Free. It was a wonderful event. A portion of the proceeds from this concert was donated to a.l.p.h.a. Idaho to help support their work educating people about the dangers of HIV/Aids. The evening ended with "We The People" featuring soloist Holly Kling.
