Our Winter Holiday Concert was a wonderful evening filled with laughter, music, and plenty of seasonal surprises. From the very first performance, it was clear our students were ready to take the audience on a festive journey through winter fun.

The night kicked off with a reader’s theatre that featured excitement, anticipation, and even a reindeer who made a rather unexpected entrance into a school building. From there, the stage was taken over by Nutcracker characters, mischievous rats, brave soldiers, and a performance that ended with a dramatic stinky twist, followed by a snowball fight that definitely kept everyone on their toes.

As the evening continued, we were treated to cheerful French holiday classics, rocking snowmen shredding air guitars, jingling bells, stomping rhythms, and some seriously impressive moves from students of all ages. Our youngest performers closed the concert portion with a charming snowman medley that brought plenty of smiles to the audience.

A big thank you goes to Liam Oberleitner, who did a fantastic job as MC for the evening, keeping things running smoothly, delivering the jokes, and handling a few surprises like a pro.

Just when everyone thought the night was coming to a close, the audience was invited to sing along to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer… and that’s when a very special guest made a truly unforgettable entrance. We heard Santa and his reindeer land right on the roof, then Santa burst through the theatre doors, surprising everyone before finishing the evening with a beautiful holiday song that left the audience smiling.

Thank you to all of our students, staff, and families for making this holiday concert such a memorable and joyful celebration. It was truly a night full of winter magic, music, and fun.
