Students Shine at “Lessons and Carols”
The Middle School Christmas Program “Lessons & Carols” was held Tuesday at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension on Northshore Drive. Students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade chorus and concert band, and Saintly Singers presented an evening of Christmas music accompanied by the reading of the Christmas story.
The concert began with a beautiful rendition of “Carol of the Star” by the Eighth Grade chorus. The singing followed with “O Come All Ye Faithful” and several other hymns, including “Joyous Light of Heavenly Glory”, “Let My Prayers Rise Up” and “Magnificant”. The following students had solos during the performance: Erin Conley, Addie Dewhirst, Laura Kirk, Karina Ottaviano, Ali Pensky, Darby Schiek, Rachel Bazzoon, Romani Bertoli, Ashton Mayo-Beavers and Bailey Musrock. The Saintly Singers joined the fun this year with their rendition of “Mary, Did You Know?” The evening closed with “Angels We Have Heard on High”, which included the audience joining in. ESK gives special thanks to Dr. Deborah Sousa, Ms. Meagan Langford and Mr. Andrew Parham for directing such a wonderful performance. A reception of cookies and beverages followed the concert.
