The Mancos Valley Chorus and the Montezuma-Cortez concert and chamber choirs teamed up Wednesday, Dec. 9, for a standing room only concert at the M-CHS auditorium.<\/p>\n
The Mancos Valley Chorus began the concert with its program \u201cSnowflakes and Other Wintry Things.\u201d \u201cThe Three-Minute Nutcracker\u201d delighted the audience, said Joyce Stevenson, president of the SouthWest Colorado Concerts, which sponsored the concert.<\/p>\n
\u201cYounger members of the audience knew all the words to the finale \u2018Let It Go\u2019 from the movie \u2018Frozen,\u2019 said Stevenson.<\/p>\n
After an intermission, the high school concert and chamber choirs performed Christmas songs and some numbers from their fall program, and applauded the clapping rhythms of \u201cCindy\u201d and the a cappella \u201cThat\u2019s Christmas to Me.\u201d Soloists from the Mancos Valley Chorus and the M-CHS Choir also were warmly received.<\/p>\n
The Mancos Valley Chorus joined the high school choirs on stage for the finales \u201cMasters in this Hall,\u201d which earned a standing ovation.<\/p>\n
The performance was free, but donations were accepted. Both the Mancos Valley Chorus and sponsor SouthWest Colorado Concerts decided to donate all the money to the high school\u2019s travel fund for a trip next May to Washington, D.C., to sing at the National Memorial Choral Festival at the Kennedy Center. The high school received almost $1,400 that night from donations at the door and from refreshments that the high school choir provided during intermission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
