Orcas Island School elementary music teacher Pam Wright says, "The holiday has been extended and we want to share the hard work that the students have done as we start the new year."
The students in Kindergarten through 6th grade will perform at the old school gym on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 6:30 p.m. Their concert will feature the children playing "Boomwhackers," hip hop reindeer dancers -- courtesy of dance teacher Susan Babcock -- recorders, percussion, piano and string -- violins, violas and cellos (Thanks, Moana Kutsche for including this information).
Wright's students will sing "Still, still, still" and other Christmas songs, "For the Winter" and the Jewish "Shalom" (peace) song.
Wright says that her 5th and 6th grade choir has been learning so fast that she began instructing them in the bell choir.
Pam Wright says the program has been carefully planned to last just one hour.
Thanks for publicizing the concert. It's not just violins, but strings (violins, violas and cellos). - Moana
