Choir

In my last post, I wrote about Kaitie being in a play.  That was not all she was involved in, in the month of December.  She is in Performing Choir, in high school.  (I wrote a little about that in October.)  I am so grateful for the program she gets to be a part of there.  The director is ambitious, and creative.  He has these kids singing music most of them would never learn to appreciate unless being a part of this choir.  The variety of music reaches across many different cultures and time periods.  

Here is a sample from the December concert.  This number is pretty traditional for Christmas.  At about 4:50 in the video, they start a new song, "Carol of the Bells."  It was one of my favorite of the concert, but there is just a tiny bit of it on this clip.  You will notice there isn't applause at the end of the first song.  That is because the audience has been instructed to wait until the end.

Can you see Kaitie all the way to the left?

Now this next one has a little more of the cultural diversity I was talking about!

(Thanks for the clips, Ericka!)

Here is Kaitie after the show. 

Now, Emilee was in also that show..  She is in Beginning Choir.  She enjoyed it as well.  The reason I don't have a picture of her, is because she doesn't have one.  I helped myself to this one of Kaitie from her Facebook page.  (I have been doing that lately.)  Like I said, Em didn't have one for me to borrow.

 

 

Kaitie also sang in a community performance of The Messiah.  It was really great!
