The chorus and band had their holiday concert on Wednesday, December 11. The 120-member chorus performed 6 pieces, featuring the different grade levels in addition to the full chorus. One song, Round and Round, featured students on xylophones and triangles. Robbie Kozlowski helped accompany the 6th grade chorus on his guitar while they sang Carol of the Bells. The beginner band students had their first concert where they got to showcase some of the different pieces and exercises they have learned on their instruments. The 60-member beginner band featured each section on a song, and ended the concert with the well-known Hot Cross Buns. The advanced band performed 3 pieces and even welcomed a guest elf in their Diary of a Grumpy Elf piece. They ended the concert with a medley of holiday songs in Holiday Rock. Mrs. Dreher and Mrs. Hewitt would like to congratulate the students on a job well done! We look forward to your next performance in the spring!
