Tallulah Falls School Christmas Chorus Concert performed for a packed house

The Tallulah Falls School middle and upper school choral ensembles hosted the annual TFS Christmas Concert on Thursday, December 8. 

With a standing-room-only audience, the vibe was cozy, festive, and inviting. Together, the ensembles sang enchanting, harmonious carols as well as entertaining renditions of holiday favorites. 

Highlights of the night included “Mary Did You Know” by the 7th and 8th grade choir; “Veni, Veni Emmanuel” performed by the upper school choir; and “White Christmas” performed by the upper school men’s choir.

“The students did a wonderful job showing the audience all we've been working on this semester,” said upper school chorus director Mary Lauren Keeney.  I was also impressed with the crowd -- standing room only. That made for a lively audience in which the performers were able to connect with and it really helped them perform their best.”

The upper school men’s choir surprised the crowd with a one-of-a-kind performance of White Christmas. Sophomore Jake Owensby wowed the room with his mile-high confidence along with junior Marc Crotta, and seniors Henry Bowman and Benjamin Okoronkwo.  “It was so surprising to see the boys deliver a comical show while singing with their talented voices,” said senior Aarington Brown. The audience gave them a standing ovation.

“I was incredibly impressed by the Christmas concert on Thursday,” said middle school chorus instructor Rachel LeGrand. “The students have worked hard this semester to prepare, and it showed.”

The concert finished with the entire ensemble leading a “Jingle All The Way Medley” sing-along. 

“It brought me great joy to see us all together celebrating the season and our students’ tremendous talents,” said President and Head of School Larry A. Peevy.

After the show, the singers shared their gratitude by serving hot chocolate and cookies to attendees.
