I

t’s hard to believe that the last time all the middle and high school choir students sang in a big group together was three years ago at the 2019 Winter Concert! The choir members are absolutely thrilled to be singing together again, so tonight’s concert is an especially meaningful one for us.

In addition, the middle and high school singers are excited to welcome members of the 5th grade music class to sing at our concert for the first time. We hope that the 5th graders enjoy this experience as much as we have enjoyed sharing it with them!

Thank you for joining us tonight to show your love and support for your young singer. The role of a warm and encouraging audience is just as important to the live music experience as the role of the performers, so we are very grateful that you are here! Singing Christmas music always seems to put us in a festive mood, so the choir and I can’t wait to share our Christmas spirit with you! We wish you all a blessed Advent and Christmas season filled with peace, joy, and love.
