Happy Holidays from
Bj’s Christmas Trees
junior at Siuslaw High School
who impressed audiences with
his moving and unusual per-
formance of “You Are My
Sunshine” at the Chorus’s May
concert, will again sing a solo.
Rhianna Haines, the cho-
rus’s accompanist, will be
playing a medley of “Angels
We Have Heard on High” and
“Deck the Halls,” arranged by
Roger Williams.
Because she was unable to
locate sheet music, she learned
the entire score by ear.
The concert is free.
However, contributions will be
appreciated.
