The Music Men had eight concerts, including one at Four Sea- sons and two elementary schools, where they sang Sleigh Ride and White Christmas. The Debuteens sang Christmas Is and Jingle Bells during numerous concerts at schools. The Commons, civic and service organizations and the Heart Association. The Concert Choir gave a performance at The Commons where they sang Halleluah Chorus and Deck the Halls.
