By Amelia Schlichten

On Friday, December, 6th the high school had their Christmas concert. The High school Choir started the concert by singing “All I Want for Christmas is You,” “Christmas Time is Here,”and “Give us Hope.” The guitar Ensemble went next with their songs “Green Sleeves’, “Wanted dead or Alive”, and “Rock’n Around the Christmas Tree.” .

After that, the J.H. Choir went. They performed “Christmas in three minutes” and “ Somewhere in My Memory.”. The drumline went next playing the school cadence “ Northeast Swag.” After the drumline, The Ipad assembly went next with the song “Thriller.” Isn’t that  a great Christmas song? The combined band came next with “The Christmas song,” and “ The Nutcracker.”
