High School Madrigal 2010

Our little town performs an annual Christmas Madrigal set in the year of 1510 every year.  My daughter has been part of the choir for the past 2 years - last year she was a "moat wench" being in the JV girls choir and wore a costume resembling the cloths of the well loved Shreck.  This year she is a "Lady of the Kingdom".   This choir does a fantastic job.  Last year there were over 350 members of the choir in grades 9 - 12.  This year has decreased a little to only approximately 300.  I wish that I had a copy of the performance to add as sound (if thats possible).  The very last song that the entire choir sings is "Silent Night".  They sing it acappella and sign it.  They sing it 3 times - the first time they sing and sign; the second time the hum and sign, and the third time they sign it and at the end of the song all lights go out and only a single lit candle lights the auditorium.  It is quite beautiful!! Here is a picture of my lovely daughter in her Madrigal Costume.

  1. Wish we could have made it tonight. Would have loved to have seen it and witnessed "Silent Night". Your little girl looks beautiful in her costume!
