     The second half of the evening centered around students in third, fourth, fifth, sixth grades and fifth/sixth grade choir.
     They performed and danced to a variety of Christmas favorites such as, “Joy to the World Bucket Percussion,” “What Child is This?” “La Bastringue,” “Sing We Now of Christmas,” “It’s the Most Wonderful Time Cup Percussion,” “Longways Sweet Potato,” “Joy to the World,” “Feliz Navidad,” “Galopede,” “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree Percussion,” “Jingle Bells Dance,” “Rise Up, Shepard,” “Stille Nacht/Silent Night,” and “Deck the Hall.”
