Sunday, December 9 was our Christmas concert. To watch each performance, go on YouTube, search for the “bfavideos” channel and scroll through the various performances. Here are the individual links to the orchestras and guitar class:
“I Heard the Bells” with HS Orchestra, MS and HS Choirs, Sign Team. This is the Casting Crowns version of the old carol; we didn’t have string parts, so I listened/watched their version on YouTube and wrote the orchestra parts from that! Emily was tired of hearing “Peace on Earth,” but we agree that the performance turned out well!
“German Dance,” “Hey Shepherds!” and “Hallelujah Chorus” with the Intermediate Orchestra
“Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Deck the Halls,” “My Favorite Things” (and part 2), and “Mario Bros. Theme Song” with Guitar class – the last 2 pieces had several humorous moments!
“Il Re Pastore” by Mozart, “Two Pastoral Airs” by Handel, and “Pavane” by Faure with the High School Orchestra
“White Christmas” with MS and HS Choir, Intermediate and HS Orchestra, and Intermediate Band. I also had to write out all the string parts for this piece. The students had fun playing all together in one giant group!
