Roger Emerson rounded out the selection for the Concert Choir.

The Band was next up; their first piece was A Solitary Wish arr. Brian Balmages. This piece was meant to show the true meaning of Christmas and to show the true meaning of helping others. They then followed with A Glorious Christmas arr. Larry Neeck. The Band rounded out their selection with a fan favorite,  Sleigh Ride arr. Leroy Anderson.

After the Band performance, the Music Department had a collection to donate money to the local food pantry. In total, the crowd raised $733.48. The crowd came together to collect this money to help local people who need it. It’s a tradition that the music department hopes will continue for many years to come.
