CES Holiday Concert

Last night was Cambria Elementary School's annual holiday concert which featured the 5th grade band and the 4th and 5th grade chorus. The first half of the concert featured the band. The 5th grade band played three fun group numbers with individual sections playing in between. One song, "Merry Christmas to All" featured a new instrument group performed by the percussion students. They are known as the “Little Devil Chimers” and they play the hand tone chimes. Emma Pablic was a featured soloist on “God Rest Ye Merry Trumpet Players.” It was an exciting night of elementary instrumental music and they played extremely well!

The second half of the concert featured the 4th and 5th grade chorus. The chorus sang six pieces of music that had varying messages, styles, and even, in the case of one piece, languages. The first number “Shoulda Been a North Pole Elf” even featured three tap dancers. They sang and boogied their hearts out, especially in the last number, “Blitzen's Boogie”

We are very proud of these students for their hard work and so grateful to have the opportunity to work with them. They are incredibly talented and can do anything that they set their minds to. Happy Holidays!
