My choir member include Mateo, Porter, Soffia, Tessa, Summer, Aubrey, Bryce, Evva, Ella, Annika, Brady, Ryker, Anna, Derrick, Ruthie, Lena, Kaleigh, Olivia, Lily, Aryelle, Kennadee, Zach, and Raef. My pianist is a young woman, Anna K., who has been such a blessing for the choir. Her family moved in a couple of months ago.
For the program, the kids sang "See the Joy", "Christmas Bells", "Teach Me To Walk/Love is Spoken Here", "That First Nowell", "Away In a Manger", and "Peaceful, Silent Night". I also had some individual performances. Raef and Zach played three songs from Christmas Kaleidoscope. Tessa and Summer B. did a beautiful rendition of "A Special Night". I sang "Star of Bethlehem" and Anna L. did an adorable version of "Mary's Lullaby".
The last song was "Peaceful, Silent Night" and Kennadee C. sang "Silent Night", with the choir singing a different part. Then the two parts were put together and it was just lovely.
Rinar was able to participate because he accompanied on the solo parts, so it really was a family affair.
Someday we will be able to share this tradition with all of our kids when they are old enough. I look forward to it. The residents enjoyed the show and all of the kids visited with them afterwards.
Music is the perfect way to get the Christmas spirit.
