Choir Concert

8 of the kids are in the homeschool choir this year, and they just had their concert on the 12th. Dad says: What a beautiful performance!!! His favorite was Gloria Canon by Franz Joseph Haydn. There are actually two choirs; the senior choir, which Sarah, Caroline, Hannah and Elizabeth are in, and Alexander, Abel, Timothy and Susannah are in the training chorus.

The Senior Choir

Caroline and Elizabeth had a duet at the beginning of "White Christmas." Some of the songs that the choir sang were: Good Christian Men Rejoice, Angels from the Realms of Glory, Il est Ne, While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night, Gloria Canon....
The girls really enjoy the choir and are looking forward to it starting up again in January.


The Training Chorus

I think the training chorus got the loudest applause- they did such a good job. It was well coordinated, they sang beautifully, and they were so cute (except Alexander who refuses to be called cute). They did 4 songs alone and sang one with the Senior Choir: Sing We all Noel, The Little Drummer Boy, Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, and O Christmas Tree.
The Little Drummer Boy was accompanied by handmade drums, and Parade of the Wooden Soldiers was done with hand motions and movements.

Both choirs are led by Juliana LaSala, and everyone loves her. She babysat for the Green kids so they got to know her well and have a special affection for her.
