Winter Concerts 2024
The Winter Concert series at Walt Whitman High School never fails to bring the holiday spirit to our district community. Beginning in early December, the high school hosted our Stimson Middle School Orchestra, Chorus, and Band groups. Their festive ensembles and beautiful holiday sounds prepared us for an additional week of holiday spirit, as our high school musicians brought their talents to the stage, followed by Silas Wood’s sixth graders who performed in the Whitman PAC for the first time.
Thank you to each of our district musicians for bringing the sounds of the holidays to South Huntington for all to enjoy before winter recess! Below you will find the full programs from each concert, as well as links to photo albums of each performance. Happy Holidays!

I - Carnegie Anthem………………….by William Owens
Commissioned by the Lamar Consolidated High School Band of Rosenberg, Texas, Carnegie Anthem pays brilliant musical tribute to this venerable institution and the vibrant city it calls home. The opening statement is a bold and brilliant fanfare characterizing the splendor of the great hall itself The subsequent middle section is a "driving calm" with engaging melodies and a rhythmic thrust symbolizing the non-stop activity of bustling NYC on any given day. Returning then to its' bold origins, the music concludes with a resplendent finish.

Metal inspired by two different types of "metal" The first type manifests into considerable use of metallic sounds in the percussion section.

The second inspiration actually comes from the genre of"heavy metal"
