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!
