First and second grade students, conducted by Jeremy Holtrop, do riser-ography for their holiday music performance.

On Monday, Dec. 5, CTA elementary students celebrated all of their hard work by putting on a holiday concert. This year, due to the growth of the CTA music program, students performed at the Cedar Springs High School auditorium. It was a wonderful venue and our students enjoyed being on the big stage. Kindergarten students started off the performance with a couple well known songs, “The Bells on the Sleigh” and “He’ll Be Comin’ Down the Chimney”. First and second grade sang their songs together and showcased some riser-ography to make it fun!

One of the 1st and 2nd Grade songs, “Hip Hop Reindeer” featured the awesome hip hop dance moves of 2nd Grader, Deegan VanHarten. K-2 finished their portion of the concert with all three grades singing “Jingle Bells”. After the younger concert, the 3rd through 5th graders performed.

Some of the 3rd-5th grade songs included one about a fruitcake that wouldn’t go away, a song about decorating, and a Queen-style rock song titled, “We Will Jingle”. It was a fun evening and the students did an outstanding job.
