Closed schools don't stop DMS & DHS musicians from performing
District 300 bands hosted the annual Christmas concert in R.P. Hibbs Auditorium at 2 p.m. at the Du Quoin High School Sunday. Classes were dismissed Friday and again today because of the weather, but that didn't stop the bands performing the music of Christmas.
The DMS beginning band performed a Mozart Medley, London Bridge and Jingle Bells. The DMS band performed Winter Wonderland, Christmas Nocturne and the African Bell Carol. The DHS jazz band performed a Swing March from the Nutcracker, We Three Kings and Angels We Have Heard on High. The combined DHS band performed Midnight Sleigh Ride, On a Cold Winter's Night, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Up on the Housetop.
