How Killeen Is Keeping the Memory of “JC Stringz” Alive This Christmas

The first article I wrote about Jarin Strings—also known as JC Stringz—was three years ago. It was titled “Rising Star JC Stringz Is an Undeniable Talent You Must See.” Only a year later, the city of Killeen would receive devastating news about his passing, and we then wrote the article “How Killeen Celebrates the Life of the Amazing JC Stringz.”

JC Stringz Is Still Spreading Joy In The City

Even though I had the opportunity to write about his accomplishments and his farewell, I knew it wouldn’t be the last time he would be talked about in our city. Seeing the young man in action was truly amazing. He was such a talent—a true gift from God when it came to playing instruments. JC gave the city the opportunity to truly enjoy music and his presence, and that’s exactly what’s happening at the “Joy to the City” event, which is a community youth Christian cantata spreading joy in memory of JC Strings.

You Do Not Want To Miss This Event Killeen!

This free event will take place at Greater Vision Community Church, located at 2000 E. Central Texas Expressway, on Sunday, December 14. The Greater Vision Community Church Children and Youth Choir will be there, varsity members from Killeen High School will be present, and New Horizon Music Studio and the Bell County Youth Orchestra will also be in attendance.

Tina Cole , Jarin’s mother, stated that this cantata is a celebration of joy, hope, and the lasting impact Jarin made on our community. Tina goes on to say that her she believes music was meant to brighten lives in our local community, and that the youth sharing their gifts honors his legacy in the most meaningful way—through music.

JC was known for uplifting people in the community with his violin, playing in nursing homes and at events all around the city. It is only right that the city returns the favor.
