Christmas Concert by the MHS Choir
Our last meeting was on December 18th. That meeting was held at Minnetonka High School, and featured a concert by the MHS choirs, directed by Paula Holmberg.
A variety of choirs were presented singing and presenting their selections. The Varsity Women’s choir is composed of new voices in the school (mainly freshmen and sophomores), and they sang three selections. They were followed by a men’s quartet doing “Deck the Halls” and “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree”. The next group, the chamber singers were followed by the 54 members of the full choir. The concert ended with the usual choral “Benediction”, a school tradition since the choir began.
Our concert was performed in the school auditorium where the choirs usually give their public performances. All of the material presented to us was part of their annual winter concert.
