MODERN CHRISTMAS CLASSICS SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN’ TO TOWN You better watch out, you better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's making a list, and checking it twice, Gonna find out who's naughty and nice.

Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He sees you when you're sleepin', he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out, you better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is comin' to town.

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? Said the night wind to the little lamb, Do you see what I see?

(Do you see what I see?)

Way up in the sky, little lamb, Do you see what I see?

(Do you see what I see?)

A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite, with a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear?

(Do you hear what I hear?)

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, Do you hear what I hear?

(Do you hear what I hear?)

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea, with a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king, Do you know what I know?

(Do you know what I know?)

In your palace warm, mighty king, Do you know what I know?

(Do you know what I know?)

A child, a child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold

DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?

Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

Pray for peace, people, everywhere Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

The child, the child sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

It's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids jingle belling And everyone telling you be of good cheer It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of all With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings When friends come to call It's the hap-happiest season of all There'll be parties for hosting

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

There'll be parties for hosting Marshmallows for toasting And caroling out in the snow There'll be scary ghost stories And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be much mistltoeing And hearts will be glowing When loved ones are near It's the most wonderful time of the year

NOTES FROM THE PODIUM Dunwoody Orchestra Families, Students, Friends, and Guests, Welcome to our final performance of the fall semester. Reflecting on the past five months leads me to say that we have done a lot as an orchestra this fall at Dunwoody. We started with a wonderful Fall Concert, our Chamber Orchestra was able to play pops music for the TSA Trunk or Treat, and we had our very first ever on campus Veterans Day Celebration with the Band, Chorus, and JROTC. We are now at the end and are so pleased to share these holiday favorites with the Dunwoody community.

We are thankful for the opportunity to share these selections from past and present in the hopes of bringing peace, tranquility, nostalgia, and happiness during this performance and entire season.

Thank you for joining us and we invite you to sing along with any song you hear tonight. You can sing quiet or loud but feel free to express yourself if you feel so moved.

Musically, Michael Giel
