Week of December 16th

Our final week of school and classes for 2019 has arrived,
culminating in the Music Program with the Christmas Gala. 
This included a beautiful Nativity Pageant featuring our
Kindergarten students as Mary, Joseph, Angels, Shepherds, Wise Men,
and the Three Kings, as well as the 4th grade as Narrators.



The Nativity was followed by the 30-minute musical entitled
"December 'Round the World" 
An International Holiday Celebration
by John Jacobson and Roger Emerson.

Pictured below are our 3rd Grade Cast and 4th grade Ensemble.





Congratulations to all the students and their teachers for your efforts.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story with the HCA Community!
A great time was had by all audience and performers alike. 

The members of the Music Program wish you and your family
A Very Merry Christmas and A Happy and Healthy New Year!

Week of December 9th


This Week in Music

This Week for the Music Program at Holy Child has been one of excitement,
 joy and lots of merry music-making.

The week began with a beautiful Family Christmas Liturgy led by our 8th graders and their families as cantors, lectors, extaordinary ministers, gift-bearers.
It included several music groups as the choir sang,
the band played carols and the strings
treated us to a beautiful rendition of Silent Night.

On Monday, we enjoyed performing for the HCA families at the Christmas Concert which included performances by all the above mentioned groups as well as Hand Bells and Rock Band.

Wednesday included an 8th Grade Hand Bell trip to Center Square Philadelphia
amidst the hustle and bustle of the city in the newly-renovated office building where
guests were treated to one of the true sounds of Christmas: Bells!

Thursday highlighted our Junior and Senior Choirs at the Media Courthouse for a noon-time musical performance followed by a fun lunch at Pinnochio's restaurant and a trolley ride back from Media.
