With the help of many with everything from props to costumes to lots and lots of time and effort, the program was once again a huge suc- cess. To kick off this amazing show, grades k-6 sang “Bring on the Snow”. The theme for this year was very different from past performances. It was called “Bring on the Snow”. The whole show was not a play about someone who saves Christmas. It was more of a variety show. The cast portrayed many odd yet fun characters--everything from a deer head, to a goose, to a knock knock joker. The whole point of this “Variety Show” aspect was to show how sometimes we all need a break The junior high and high school music to get away from troubles and stress, spe- Wilhouskey followed by “The Little Drummer concert took place on December 8.

  • Countdown to Christmas: Four Days Left: Wisdom from Saint Peter
    Countdown to Christmas: Four days left: Wisdom from Saint Peter Canisius, first day of winter, Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter,’ today’s O Antiphon and prayer, and more great Christmas music It’s almost Christmas… (Photo by Patti Murphy Dohn) “If you have too much to do, with God’s help you will find time to do it all.” — St. Peter Canisius (1521-1597), whose feast we celebrate today, December 21 Great advice from today’s saint, especially during this hurried week Saint Peter Canisius (1521-1597) ——- Introduction: In the last Advent days leading up to Christmas, I will share some reflections, prayers, and music for you to enjoy during this very hectic holiday season. “Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.” —Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) It’s the first day of winter: Comedian Steve Martin once joked “A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.” But it is bright and sunny today and thus hard to believe that it is December 21, the first official day of winter. Almost 60 degrees here in Bel Air…. The Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, comes today at 12:11 p.m. (EST). I heard that we will have 9 hours and 32 minutes of daylight. I’m not a fan of winter, so I will be counting down the days until Spring, be assured. My dear friend Sue, who just retired in June after many years teaching English on the high school and college levels, posted one of her favorite passages this morning from Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter’ from “Walden.” She especially loves the last sentence, as do I!! Enjoy… “Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut …my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlor of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.

  • Pentatonix Un Grupo De Música a Capela (Ganadores Del Grammy Al Mejor Arreglo, Instrumental O a Capella) De Cinco Vocalistas
    Pentatonix Un grupo de música a capela (ganadores del Grammy al Mejor arreglo, instrumental o A capella) de cinco vocalistas: Kirstie Maldonado (mezzosoprano), Scott Hoying (tenor), Mitch Grassi (contratenor), Avi Kaplan (bajo) y Kevin Olusola (beatbox). Son procedentes de Arlington, Texas, Estados Unidos. El grupo ganó la tercera temporada de The Sing-Off de la cadena NBC. En el cual Pentatonix ganó 200.000 dólares y un contrato de grabación con Sony. Con cifras estratosféricas en todos los ámbitos, el canal de YouTube de Pentatonix tiene más de 650 millones de visualizaciones y 6.7 millones de suscriptores, superando a Beyoncé o Avicii. Su gran salto en YouTube se podría atribuir a su vídeo Evolution Of Music, una canción de 4 minutos que resume la historia de la música en 36 canciones escogidas por el grupo, un vídeo que hace 2 años se volvió viral, moviéndose por todo tipo de redes sociales y llegando a los medios de comunicación inclusive. Ahora cuenta con alrededor de unos 60 millones de visitas, una cifra muy a tener en cuenta. Su mayor éxito por el momento (y con razón) es su mix de temas de Daft Punk que registra ya más de 130 millones de visualizaciones para esos casi 5 minutos de harmonía a capela. No solo con eso, también con su cover que lanzaron junto a Lindsey Stirling (una violinista de gran talento y también de fama ascendente gracias a sus videos musicales en YouTube) del tema Radioactive de Imagine Dragons ha llegado a los 97 millones de views en los canales de los dos artistas y ganó el premio a Best Response Video en los YouTube Music Awards en noviembre de 2013.
