INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the Doha College Music Department, I am delighted to welcome our community to the Secondary Winter Concert 2024. Our performers have been working tirelessly over the past term to bring together this evening’s performances. Students from all year groups complete our programme for this evening, with ensemble performances from our Senior Orchestra, Senior Choir, Guitar Ensemble and Jazz Band along with solo instrumentalists from our Instrumental Department.
This evening’s concert is being hosted by our Head Boy Rohan Sadhu, and Head Girl Salma Haba.
Sit back, relax and enjoy!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling And everyone telling you be of good cheer
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
It’s the hap-happiest season of all With those holiday greetings and hap-happy meetings
When friends come to call
It’s the hap-happiest season of all
There’ll be parties for hosting Marshmallows for toasting And carolling out in the snow
There’ll be scary ghost stories And tales of the glories of Winter times long, long ago, long ago
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much mistletoeing And hearts will be glowing When loved ones are near It’s the most wonderful time
It’s the most wonderful time
It’s the most wonderful time… Of the year…of the year!
