A Musical Celebration of Winter

Lower and Intermediate School students welcomed the forthcoming December Recess with song in their annual Winter Program Morning Ex. Filled with vocal talent and emergent instrumental ability, this year’s program was a musical celebration reflecting a range of winter traditions from around the globe.

 

Senior Kindergartners performed “Gatatumba” from Spain. Fourth grade students shared their rendition of “Lovely New Year Flower” from China in recognition of the Chinese New Year. Second grade students offered a rousing rendition of “Dja Dja Dja” from Ghana recognizing the Kwanzaa tradition, followed by the Junior Kindergartners’ adorable version of “Song of the Snowman.” First grade students payed homage to Three Kings Day with their presentation of “Follow the Star” from Puerto Rico, followed by their 3rd grade counterparts’ version of the Hanukah favorite “Light One Candle.” Fifth grade vocalists welcomed the season with their spirited version of “Baby Please Come Home” and combined their talents with 3rd grade singers for a unique finale featuring a layered medley of John Lennon’s timeless “Imagine.”

 

Many thanks to our Lower and Intermediate School students for lending their talents to the show and Parker’s Music Department for orchestrating the show!
