very year at Liberty North around December it comes time for the annual holiday band concert. The students begin practicing in October and will continue doing so until the day of their performance. “I’d say my favorite part about the holiday concerts is getting to play our festive music on time for the holidays because we start rehearsal in October,” senior Gabe Fransens said. Festive concerts are not exclusive to band. Choir will often sing a mix of traditional and non-traditional songs during the holiday concert, so expect to hear some seasonal favorites. “We’re singing “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey and it’s honestly the most overplayed holiday song around this time of year but it’s nice to already know a piece before we start learning it,” junior Evan Anderson said. The holidays are something almost everyone can enjoy for some reason or another and the orchestra holiday concerts at Liberty North are the perfect way to bring out your holiday spirit. The holidays hold a special place in the hearts of many; Liberty North holiday concerts can be a source of cherished memories for the audience and performers. “My favorite part of the holiday concerts is seeing and playing the familiar music and seeing how it is interpreted into an orchestra,” freshman Andrew Hodges said. All Liberty North holiday concerts will take place in December before winter break. The students performing are working hard to perfect their performance before the concerts take place. Many people enjoy coming to the concerts to support their friends and family, but even if you may not have any connections to choir, band, or orchestra you can still come out to support your fellow Eagles and their passion for music. “Orchestra is a big part of my life and always will be, the holiday concert is where I can really express that love with my friends and family supporting me,” Hodges said. photos by: Brieanna Green
