The audience was then treated to “All I Want for Christmas,” “Blue Christmas”, “Twenty Carols in Twenty Minutes,” “It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas,” and “Sleigh Ride” played by the high school Concert Band.
The flutists were Chrissy Tinker and Jade Fox. The clarinetists were Chloe, Malakai Jackson, and Candice Gaspar. Tatum Larrabee, Miles Norman, Zoey Fallon, Tyrell Murphy, and Brentley Vernon were on alto sax with Jeffery Yates on tenor sax.
The french horn was played by Lukas Lakey. The trumpeters were Owen Stokes, Kaden Tindall, Nathan Guzman, and Steve Gonzalez. On the trombone were Mason Stokes, Bradley Tinney and Emmanuel Guzman.
The euphoniumians were Katie Giffith and Madison Harrison. Bailey Childress was on the bass guitar. Percussionists were Jordan Villagrana, Zeke Daily, Kimberly Parris, DeVyan Whetstone, Ayden Scarborough, King Strong, and Kirby Clark.
