Twas One CRAZY Night Before Christmas
NHA Certainly Had One Crazy Night Before Christmas for Its Annual Christmas Musical!
Thank you to our wild, crazy, and (at times) mixed up and musical New Horizons Academy (NHA) students and cast members, who delivered wonderful and wacky Christmas performances on December 17 at Pettisville Missionary Church.
This year, NHA Music Teacher Melissa Valentine put together a show we will never forget! What other Christmas musical would include the Ghostbusters and Who Let the Dogs Out?, alongside a living nativity and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Why Twas One Crazy Night Before Christmas, of course! According to composers John Jacobson and Mac Huff, “Take a light-hearted look at Christmas in the typical American household. ‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a…wait a minute!?! What’s going on here – Mom’s running pass plays in the kitchen, Sis is doing her best Martha Stewart imitation, Dad and the Uncles are taking root in front of the TV, and the kids are hmmmm??”
Well, over 100 of our special needs kids sang, danced, played, drummed, and joked to:
- Christmas Time is Comin’,
- Sleepin’ on the Floor at Christmas,
- The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round All Christmas Eve,
- 2024 NHA Starting Line-Up,
- Who Let the Dogs Out?,
- Who You Gonna Call? GHOSTBUSTERS!,
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
- Will the Real Santa Claus Please Stand Up?,
- Slippers Again for Christmas,
- Something to Believe In,
- Silent Night,
- Saxophone Solo by David Rose &
- Guitar Duet by Jack Syverson and Teacher Claire Graber.
