Gallery: PHS Winter Concert (Dec. 15, 2021)

Philomath High School Performing Arts students staged their winter concert on Tuesday under the direction of Erica Hall and accompanied by Julie Buchert.

The jazz band performed four numbers — “Chill Out Gents,” “Tannenbaum,” “Joy to the World” and “Hot Chocolate.” The last number included the concert choir.

The concert choir sang “Carol of the Bells,” “Stille Nacht/Silent Night” and “Go Tell It On the Mountain.” The “Silent Night” performance included students signing the words.

The wind ensemble performed “Bobsled Run,” “A Fireside Christmas” and “Still, Still, Still.” A final number combined the wind ensemble and the concert choir and they performed “Sleigh Ride.”
