It is that time of year again for everyone to get into the holiday season. Buying gifts for the holidays, putting up the Christmas tree, and even baking an extra amount of desserts; people start to become crazy over a short period of time. While everyone may be busy getting ready for Christmas, Hanukah, or whatever they may celebrate, I am just trying to get ready for our schools holiday celebration, Cocoa and Carols.
It happens every year here, and each year is a fun success. Our show choirs, Chantuers, Protégé, and Happiness, put together this fun filled day for elementary and middle schools to come and perform their Christmas songs for our area to here. It is a really great experience for the kids to come out, perform, and to watch our groups do our shows because they get to see what our choir program is all about. Although the day may be a positive thing to contribute to, it may be a little hectic for those who are new to the whole thing.
For starters, we (the show choirs) have to bring three dozen cookies each. The little monsters get a little hungry after doing a major performance, I mean come on! Also, we have to get a whole bunch of hot cocoa, hence the name. Food always attracts people, so that is a plus! After the little details are set in stone, it is time to plan out the schedule for what school is performing, what times, and when our show choirs have to be ready to perform. This year, almost a fourth of Happiness is going to be missing in the morning, due to ACT testing. That threw things off a little, but we got everything figured out and with the day being, well tomorrow, everything seems to be ready.
If I had to pick something that was my favorite out of the whole day, it wouldn't be our choirs performing their songs, or the little kids singing the cutest things ever. No, it would have to be Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer! All the choirs come out on stage, and we get everyone in the audience, parents included, to participate in this famous tune. We even pull up little kids on stage to help us do it, which really gets the crowd more involved. It isn't just the old easy tune though, NO, we have tricky actions that you have to pay attention to. For instance, throughout the whole song you can't say nose or reindeer. If someone messes up, they are noticed like that! It really is a fun thing to do, and every year I look forward to it more and more! Also, this year I am a Happiness member so I get to go and announce a elementary or middle school group that is performing. I have Jackson, my old elementary school, so I am kind of excited.
Cocoa and Carols is just something to help those who truly go nuts during this month, to just relax and enjoy the holiday season love without all the stress. So come on over to school tomorrow, and you will surely be one happy holiday cheer-meister.
