On December 11th, the Wayne High/Middle School Band with the Wayne High School Choir held a Christmas Celebration. The music program in the Wayne School District continues to grow with enthusiastic teachers and students. The growth in the middle school band is a welcome sight and is providing an increasing talented pool of musicians for the high school. Lori Chappell and Joni Taft are doing amazing things with our students and their concerts continue to engross the entire community. The Christmas Concert started with the 6th grade band presenting the audience with Good King Wenceslas, Jolly Old St. Nicholas, Mary Ann, Crusader’s March and Jingle Bells. They were followed by the 7/8th grade bands rendition of Little Shop of Horrors, Sawmill Creek, A Whole Lot of Christmas. After the middle school, the high school band played Jingle Bell Rock, Jingle Bell Jam and Angels in the Bleak Midwinter. Following the high school bands songs, they were joined by the high school choir where they jointly presented Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! The choir then pleased the crowd with White Winter, Christmas in Three, All on a Silent Night, I See a Star, Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth, Hallelujah, and Mary Did You Know? We would like to thank the community and parents in Wayne County for their unwavering support to the choir and band programs. It makes a big difference when the auditorium if full of our family and friends, thanks.
