 with the students at Lincoln Elementary mixed a little hip-hop in with their Christmas. With less than 12 days before Christmas, students in all grade levels made their voices heard. Hady Clotter has the story. The gym at Lincoln Elementary was the site of a special performance from its students. About 800 people, including parents and faculty, packed the gym to see the Lincoln chorus and orchestra in action. It's a positive way for kids to express their energy in a positive, joyful musical way. I enjoy singing because it helps calm me down and it's very enjoyable. The Winter Concert at Singalong has been a tradition at Lincoln Elementary and more than 500 kids from all grade levels participated. Preparations for the concert began after Thanksgiving and students practiced one day a week for 30 minutes. All grade levels practiced separately and then came together for the show. It's always kind of fun for them to just the expression on their faces when there are 500 voices singing all together. Classics like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Jingle Bell Rock were performed, but it was hip-hop reindeer that stole the show. It's just really catchy and like the first time after singing it, you just always have it stuck in your head. Hip-hop reindeer pulling into the sleigh, now hip-hop reindeer. It's not a requirement for students to be a part of the concert, but they seem to enjoy it. It's really fun to be in chorus and I think I want to try at least once. The show ended on a high note with We Wish You a Merry Christmas, How Fitting, for this week's Golden Apple in Bemidji, Haiti-Claude, Lakeland News.
