DHS Holiday Choir Concert

DHS Holiday Choir Concert

The DHS Choir is pleased to present their annual Holiday Concert under the direction of Mr. Eric West and accompanied by Mrs. Lori Schultz. Although this concert is not the traditional event we come to know, this project showcases how awesome the DHS students are and how hard they have been working during this challenging time. The songs were recorded together while wearing masks and being social distanced in the choir room. Then students recorded video of themselves singing the songs while at home. Using technology, the beautiful voices and videos were compiled together. Prepare to be amazed by clicking here for the performance.
