Between the impressive tracklist, stunning solos, and flawless group performances, the night was nothing short of amazing. Here’s a full breakdown of the show.
ChorusThe choir performances were split into two parts: the Combined and Select Choir. Both delivered beautiful renditions of songs like Innkeeper, Noel Nouvelet, and O Come, All Ye Faithful. Each group’s balance of sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses was spot-on, with moments of rich harmony and emotional depth. The choir’s professionalism and skill made it easy to forget these were high school students—truly remarkable.
Concert BandThe 8-12 Concert Band performed a diverse setlist that included Hanukkah, Festival Of Lights, Do You Hear What I Hear?, and the festive A Most Wonderful Christmas. Every section brought something special to the table, from the bold brass and smooth woodwinds to the steady percussion. Their finale, A New Orleans Nutcracker Suite, was a standout, closing the concert with energy and flair.
Jazz BandThe Jazz Band, under Wayne Naus, was the highlight of the night. They played three incredible pieces: Willowcrest, I Remember Clifford, and Fleckenstein’s Groove. With bold saxophones, roaring trombones, and impressive solos, the group brought an unmatched energy to the stage. The solos, in particular from sophomore Wellington Holmes and senior Thomas Marchio, showed off just how talented individual students are, making this set the most exciting part of the concert.
ConclusionIn the end, the MRHS Winter Concert completely exceeded every expectation. From the powerful choir vocals to the dynamic instrumentals, every performance was captivating. These students displayed incredible skill, and all left the auditorium amazed by what they accomplished.
