On December 15th, the McClatchy Music Program held its fantastic performance of “United.” The entire purpose of the show was to celebrate the power of music to bring people together.
The entire performance lasted around 2 hours and was wonderful through and through. The entire music program put on a stellar show with many holiday songs and shifting color schemes throughout each performance.
The first song played was “Carol of the Bells” by Mykola Leontovych, which was performed so well that you could feel the emotion in the song. The following songs were just as good, if not better, as they progressed. The most memorable piece in the entire show was “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by Vince Guaraldi, with “Uma Familia” by Jay Althouse following as a close second.
With changing colors and shifting musicians, the experience was extraordinary. Each song performed was a spectacular display of the abilities of the McClatchy music department. The crowd was captivated throughout, dazzled by the experience. Towards the end of the performance, some audience members were called up onto the stage. On the stage, they put on helmets and were hit on the head with Boomwhacker sticks. It was a very memorable and unexpected experience.
The performance by the McClatchy Music Program was a truly memorable event. This event should continue for many years to come for all to enjoy. With their next event, the Spring Soiree coming in March, it’s sure to be a night to remember.
