Handbell Choir News
The MRHS Handbell Choir is having a busy December. The students performed their first concert of the season Tuesday at The Victorian, an assisted living community. Several of our senior players went on to accompany the outstanding MRMS chorus at their concert later that evening, playing Wenceslas Cannon. The choir also rang in the audience to the MRHS Winter Concert on Thursday night, playing nine carols to the audience as they came in from the cold. The students will continue on next week to play concerts for the residents of both Pleasant Bay Nursing and Rehabilitation and The Woodlands Assisted Living. Looking for some entertainment for your event in April and May? Contact us at the high school so we can prepare a program for you!
