Our Programon the 13th was the annual concert by the Minnetonka High School Concert Choir.
The choir, composed of 59 seniors and juniors at the school, is directed by Paula Holmberg, The program that was done for us was a part of their winter concert, and included songs of the season.
The Chamber Singers, a select group of 19 of the choir members, sang three Christmas songs, including an energetic version of Jingle Bells. Also doing a special version of The Twelve Days of Christmas was a barber shop quartet from within the group.
The entire choir sang a number of songs, including a Gloria, Gaudete Omnes, and Earth Song. The program ended with the traditional Choral Benediction, which was preceded by two surprises. The entire choir sang Jai Hoi (Victory Dance), part of the theme music from the movie, Slumdog Millionaire. And the closing selection was Merry Christmas Past, which was written by our own Bob Williams (who will celebrate his 90th birthday on Saturday).
Program rating on the TMT (Troublemakers’ Table) Scale: 10.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
