A Christmas Festival by Moanalua High School's 2008 Symphony Orchestra @ The Gift of Hope Charity Concert

Moanalua High School's Music Department presents
The Gift of Hope

A Charity Concert for Mercy Ships

Sponsored by New Hope Christian Fellowship

Held at Wallace Rider Farrington High School Auditorium
on Wednesday, December 10, 2008, at 7:00 pm
in Honolulu, Hawaii

Excerpt from the program about the charity:
"Aside from the music, tonight's concert is about something much greater. It's about the charity. And this year we are proud to give 100% of all funds raised to such a wonderful organization.

In America when we feel an ache or discover a growth on our bodies, we quickly head to the doctor to get it fixed. In Africa, for many, doctors are too expensive or simply unavailable. In America we can safely drink water from the tap. In Africa the next sip of water may cause days of fever but you drink it anyway because there are no other
options.

What was once a Danish rail ferry has been renovated into a floating hospital. With six operating rooms, a 78-bed ward, and volunteers from over 30 countries, the Africa Mercy is able to offer free medical care onboard and multiple programs on shore, such as water sanitation, construction, and agriculture projects that will benefit the surrounding villages long after the ship leaves port."

I was in orchestra in my high school. We played this song every four years. Love it.  Never heard whis singers.

[infamousraiderh]

the singers weren't needed.. I wanted to hear all the small ornaments and syncopation in the winds at the end

Great song! Orchestra played very well! Our high school orchestra also played this selection but without accompaniment of a band or singers I think that the singers were great but the drowned out the orchestra(the backbone) great piece! I sit 1st chair cello in high school
