Hundreds packed the gym as the bands and choirs performed several traditional holiday selections including "Winter Wonderland," "Jingle Bells" and "Santa's Comin' to Town!"

At least fifty vocalists and seventy instrumentalists used their musical talents to produce a melodious sound that rang effortlessly.
