Sounds of the Season!
The Christmas spirit was in the air on Monday, December 4 as the Ridgecroft Music Department presented its annual Christmas Concert. The wind ensemble accompanied the lower school vocalists on a medley of Christmas carols and performed selections from
West Side Story as well as several other tunes. The lower school students closed the concert with rousing renditions of
Feliz Navidad and
We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Before performers and guests left to enjoy cookies and lemonade provided by PTO, music director William Sawyer surprised the top sellers in the music department's fruit fundraiser by allowing them to pie him in the face! This fun and impressive evening showed that talent runs deep in the halls of Ridgecroft!
