It's beginning to feel like Christmas

Tonight we enjoyed a couple of carols played by the Warren High Band. What a treat. We were having a gathering, so the music was enjoyed by many. They even recruited participation with the triangle!

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.”
~ Meredith Willson, “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas”

Christmas music

Every year we are treated to Christmas carols by the Warren High Marching Band and Color Guard. It's a great tradition for them to visit the neighborhoods around Downey.

"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."
~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

Here we go a caroling

Tonight we were greeted (at our door) by some members of the Warren Band and Color Guard playing Christmas music and spreading holiday cheer.

What a nice treat it was to have them share their gifts...we actually begged for a few extra songs! The musicians are going door-to-door caroling for the month of December.

As with all school music programs, they need community support. You can donate when they come by your door or you could send in a check to the Warren High School Band and Color Guard - Caroling Donation Drive 2011 (8141 De Palma Street, Downey CA 90241).

There is also an upcoming free concert to be held at Downey Theatre on January 19th at 7pm. You can email to reserve tickets - dniemeyer@dusd.net.
