The 2024 Holiday Concert was held on December 18, and it hosted the String Orchestra, Band, Jazz Band, Piano, Chorus, and Ad-Libs. The String Orchestra had performed two pieces on their own, “Last Christmas” and “The Night Before Christmas”. “The Night Before Christmas” was unlike any other performance as Ms. Luker, our piano teacher who is now also working on the admissions team, narrated a storybook while the String Orchestra accompanied her with sound effects and beautiful songs. 

The String Orchestra then proceeded to play the iconic Christmas soundtrack, “White Christmas” along with the Eaglebrook Band. When summed up, there were around 80 musicians in the Assembly Area, which sounded magical. The Eaglebrook Band then played “Christmas Swings” and “Christmas Light Fanfare”. “Christmas Swings” is a medley of Christmas carols that have a touch of swing added to their melody and “Christmas Light Fanfare” is a fun, exciting song, with the horns showcasing their beautiful sounds. 

Following the Band was the Jazz Band. The Jazz Band performed two famous Christmas carols, “Winter Wonderland” and “Frosty the Snowman”. Both of these pieces required great pitches to create harmony and the Jazz Band did a great job in achieving that. 

After these performances, the pianists Liam Kim ’26, Daniel Park ’26, and James Lin ’26 performed the iconic carol, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. Titan Tanihaha ’25 and Kyle Zhou ’25 performed “Carol the Bells”. Both songs needed great collaboration amongst the pianists considering that they weren’t performing by themselves. 

The Chorus sang two great Christmas Carols,  “Let it Snow” and “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer”, where they showcased outstanding harmony among the different parts. The Ad-Libs’ performance marked the conclusion of the Holiday Concert. 

The Ad-Libs sang a unique version of the carol “12 Days of Christmas”, that was in a medley format. The song was a combination of the original carol and several other famous Christmas carols.
