The WCS Holiday Concerts, by Sherri Pilgreen


Okay…So put yourself in our shoes.  We have just returned from Thanksgiving Break, having successfully performed the Thanksgiving Extravaganza, and now we have 7 to 10 days to put together and teach a whole new 45-minute concert of holiday music!  Amazingly, it usually turns out well, but I can remember feeling many times as though I was the mother bird feeding music into the open mouths of the baby birds. It was hectic,  but so worth it The evening of the concert was even more exciting due to the exhibition of brand new dresses and suits and the anticipation of the upcoming holidays and travels. The history of our school was built on such observances, and I am so glad that we continue it still!
 
Enjoy these photos from the concerts in 1987:
