Allendale, MI High School Presents . . . Holiday Concert 2008 by the HIgh School Choir, Chamber Choir and Band

Each year at this time I press my daughter, when is the Choir and Band Concert this year?  I look forward to hearing the young voices so clear and beautiful.  Of course my daughter is one of them so I probably tend to be a bit on the partial side!!  Ok, a lot on the partial side! 

This year was very special as it was the first year with our new Choir and Band director, Tony Bush.  He did an absolutely incredible job and it was evident how proud he was of his students. So excited in fact that he broke his baton!

What also made it so special this year was that the Band, the High School Choir and the High School Chamber Choir all performed together.  For those of you who are wondering what the difference is between the two choirs, the Chamber Choir is an elite group of young adults who possess superior strength with their voices.  Each aspiring singer must audition to be a member of the group.  My daughter has been member of the Chamber Choir for the last two years.  Sadly, this will be her last year  as graduation is six short months away.  This year I listened with tears in my eyes realizing that my little girl has grown into a beautiful young lady.

They performed  in the  Ceglarek Fine Arts Center, which is an incredible facility attached to the main campus of the high school. It opened in April 2005, seating almost 800.  It is a very beautiful facility which has incredible acoustics.  We are so blessed to have our children attend such a wonderful school in an incredible community.  I hope you enjoy the performance of the choir as much as we did!

And now I present to you . .. . .The Allendale, MI High School Band, Choir and Chamber Choir.
