Jonathan Law’s Music Department is hosting its annual Winter Concerts on December 17 and 18.

Law’s Choir, Band, and Orchestra have been planning two winter concerts to showcase their talent and hard work. Choir Director Ms. Jones and Band and Orchestra director Mr. Pelaggi have been planning and prepping for months to make sure these concerts go smoothly. 

Pelaggi is very excited to perform on December 18. He encourages everyone including family and friends, to watch the band and orchestra.

“I’m excited for our Band and Orchestra students to have a positive performance and share their work with their friends and family,” Pelaggi said. “I always stress the process of music making and not the product to my students, but the concert is always a fun night.”

The Choir is performing on December 17. They are proud of their work and are excited to get to sing together. 

“A part of the concert I’m most proud of is when all of the choir comes together on stage to perform,” junior Delaney Adkins said. “We don’t get much time to sing all together so when we do, it makes me proud of everyone’s hard work and dedication.”

The Music Department has been preparing for months for these concerts. To prep for the upcoming concert, Law’s Band was learning two types of music. 

“The hardest part about prepping for the concert was trying to learn and practice both Concert Band and Marching band music at the same time,” sophomore Grace French said. 

During the concerts, the students get to showcase the new music they have been learning.

“I am most excited to play ‘High Knob Celebration,’” junior Joesph Kremer said. “There’s a lot of interesting elements to the song, and it’s very fun to play.”

Law’s Orchestra is performing on December 18. To bond before the concert, they have a pre-concert ritual they do every show. 

“One of our pre-concert traditions is quickly rehearsing some part of the show right before we go up,” junior Rayna Dhakal said. “It gives us a quick refresh and makes us less nervous.”
