Before the break, our learners were treated to a festive holiday concert by a group of accomplished musicians, who also happen to be Mineola music teachers.

The band consisted of Mr. Kamping (euphonium) and Mr. St. John (trumpet) from MHS, Mr. Ratner (drums) from MMS and Ms. Barkan (french horn) from Jackson. They were joined by retired Mineola music teacher Mark Bennett on trumpet.

The teachers performed a medley of holiday favorites, including Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, Silent Night and Deck the Halls, which featured a rousing singalong with the students.
