The Campion Academy Chorale and the HMS Richards Adventist School's choir joined together to perform for the Campion Church service. The focus of the entire service was sacred Christmas music, featuring ensembles from both schools.

The Music Department presented a Christmas concert on Saturday evening to celebrate the holiday season. All the ensembles including Cantores Chorale, Koinonia, Symphony, Jazz Band, Beginner Band, and Handbells played the music at the concert. 

Music Director, Naomi Fernandez commented on the concert, “I am proud of all seven groups that performed, including the debut of our new beginner band. All the music students worked hard, progressed and each group brought a unique sound and flavor to our Christmas concert! It was great fun to see the students in their Christmas costumes. The whole evening was a lot of fun, from top to bottom.”

One song that was loved by the audience was “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” featuring soloists, Justin Ticonuwu, Marc Winokan, and Phoebe Wullur. Ticonuwu said, “The concert was really fun, but having two concerts on the same day really tested our endurance. Being a soloist was really scary, but the experience was great.”

The Jazz band played a variety of Christmas favorites including “Deck The Rockin' Halls” in which Michael Shannon had a trumpet solo. “I was very nervous at first,” Shannon recalled; “but once I started playing, I had fun.”

Fernandez furthered, “I'm looking forward to our spring programs, the music tour and the Union Music Festival!”
