The EASA Orchestra started the concert with two beautifully played songs, demonstrating their acquired musical skills and talents after just eight weeks of practice. With over 40 students in this afterschool activity, their music was a wonderful ensemble of string, woodwind, brass, and percussion instruments.

Next, the EASA Choir performed their rendition of traditional folk songs, followed by festive holiday songs. Two students accompanied our choirs on the piano during their songs, which is such an amazing skill for our young students to have.

Members of the student-led Barefoot Band joined in for the concert to play a few songs as well. The band is a group of AISG students that was founded during the beginning of the pandemic last year. These students often visit nursing homes and people with special needs to perform songs and bring joy.

The grand finale was a Holiday Jubilee, where the Orchestra returned to the stage and all the choirs stood on the risers and together, they performed an ensemble! It was incredible to hear all the wonderful melodies of this large group and it certainly got everyone into the holiday spirit.
