Warren County Students Celebrate the Season

Students from all three Warren County schools participated in the tree lighting program held last night at the courthouse in Warrenton. A good crowd turned out despite a slight rain as the Christmas season was officially ushered in for Warren County.

The program began with a few holiday selections performed by fourth and fifth grade members of the Freeman Singers from Mildred E. Freeman Elementary School. The Freeman Singers are under the direction of Ms. Kathy Gerlach and entertained the audience with songs including Christmas in Any Language, Kwanzaa, Jingle Jive, and Bright Happy Day. They also performed for the Thomson Rotary Club earlier in the day. Students audition for the choir and practice throughout the year to be ready for performances like the tree lighting ceremony.

The Warren County Middle and High School band followed the Freeman Singers with several holiday selections of their own. The event was also the debut for the band's new look as they sported their new uniforms for the first time. The band continued to play and entertain the crowd after the official lighting of the tree. Many commented about how impressed they were by not only the new look for the band, but the quality of the performance as well. The band played right up until heavier rains forced them to seek cover.
