Well the band played “Good King Wenceslas”, one of the orchestras and another band played “Dreidel” twice, and one of them played a “Kwanzaa Carol”.
Jingle Bells,was on the program, of course.
Since this was a middle school presentation we had three orchestras, three bands and a combined chorus.
Ah, Kwanzaa -- of course. My favorite criminal-inspired totally-derivative, racist/rejectionist/separatist holiday. Don't get me started.
Of course, if I were really misanthropic, I'd be out promoting and popularizing Kwanzaa in Norway, and sending back 6 x 15' posters of smiling, happy, platinum-blonde Norwegians celebrating Kwanzaa by lighting their particolored candlesticks. * * * * * * * * * * The two ACLU lawyers must have been alerted about that one carol by some busybody pot-stirrer who, eagle-eyed, spotted the title on the program. Used to be only Baptist Ministers showing up for a debate about Creationism wore black power-suits. Oh, well.
