Choral concert spreads Christmas cheer with song, dance and wisecracks

Encouraged to sing along and tickled by a bevy of jokes, the crowd at the HHS auditorium was treated to an especially engaging Christmas choral concert Dec. 9. Under the direction of Marcia Dalton, a full lineup of Christmas favorites as well as some less familiar holiday tunes were featured by the high school chorus, the junior high chorus and Sound Check, the high school select choir.

While the group numbers were delightful, the solos sang throughout the evening were a real treat that brought thunderous applause.

Sierra Conde opened the concert with a solo performance of “Warm and Fuzzy.” Other solos included “You are the Reason” sang by Kylie Purkeypile and “Wonderwall” by Max Kleve, who accompanied himself on guitar. Brenna Gatton brought something entirely different to the stage singing “O del mio Dolce Ardor,” an Italian aria.

Sisters Emmy and Elly Brown joined in two vocal duets with Emmy on guitar. Both “A Hallelujah Christmas” and “Oh Holy Night” were exceptional.
