Christmas Music at Minnetonka
One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is music. Even this year, I announced to my family on Thanksgiving Day, that I could now start to listen to Christmas music!
On Tuesday, December 12, the K-6 students will be presenting a Christmas musical, The First Leon. In this charming musical you will see the Christmas story through the eyes of Leon. You see, Leon is... special. Ever since he discovered that his name spelled backwards is Noel, he’s felt called to tell the world the true meaning of Christmas. But when he tries out for every role in the annual pageant, he finds that he's the only one who doesn't get a part. Rejected, Leon now understands better than anyone how Mary and Joseph must have felt when they heard the words, "No room," that night in Bethlehem. Without really trying to, however, Leon does uncover the true meaning of Christmas when he identifies the real Star of Bethlehem.
The concert on Thursday, December 14, is a medley of Christmas music performed by the bands and choirs of grades 7-12 as well as the handbells. The bands and bells will be playing a variety of songs. The choirs will be singing some old favorites as well as a few pieces that may be unfamiliar to most of us. As is the tradition at MCA, the choirs’ final two numbers will be from Handel’s Messiah, “And the Glory” and “Hallelujah Chorus.” Once again, the audience will be invited to join the choirs as they sing.
Please plan to come and enjoy one of the best parts of the Christmas season – music from our children.
