Who doesn’t like a holiday song, especially when it’s sung by a fantastic group of 60 kids?
The Dexter Songmakers took center stage Tuesday evening as the evening’s entertainment at the Dexter High School Student Council’s Annual Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner.
The DHS Auditorium was filled with senior citizens and Songmaker family and friends for the special concert.
The Songmakers is a special auditioned choir directed by Delisa Sitze and accompanied by MaryRuth Boone.
Tuesday’s concert began with a touching tribute to veterans, “Thank You, Soldiers.” Stize explained the group has been working on the song all fall. The choir is preparing to video a performance of the “Thank You, Soldiers” to send to the husband of fifth grade teacher Jessica DeMent, who is serving in Afghanistan.
The rest of the concert had a Christmas holiday theme. Featured in the presentation were percussionists Joe Rice and Jett Featherston.
It was a delightful concert, putting young and old alike in the holiday spirit.
Following the concert, the seniors attending the Senior Citizen Thanksgiving Dinner enjoyed Bingo led by the DHS Student Council members.
The dinner, concert and bingo were all held at Dexter High School.
