Every year since 2007, the Marcus Choir holds their Madrigal Celebration. This year, it was held on December 7 and 8. It was attended by family, students, and anyone else interested in a night of music and medieval ambiance. The guests feasted on a medieval dinner which included a pot roast while experiencing music performed by the Marcus Choir. In addition, a play was going on which was loosely based on the songs that the choir was singing.

There are months of preparation to be ready for the event. And, it takes more than just the students to be ready.

“A lot of adults volunteered their time to help move equipment and take down the sets,” Junior, James Noell said.

The students perform traditional songs such as Boar’s Head Carol and the Wassail Song. The Madrigal Celebration has been a very popular event. This year, the tickets sold out in a little over a week for both nights.

There was still a fair share of hardships. But, they got through it with hard work and determination.

“We have lost a lot of good singers that have graduated. But, we have gained a lot of new kids that have a lot of potential,” Noell said.
