RECOGNIZING BELLEFONTE AREA HIGH SCHOOL'S CONCERT CHOIR AT RADIO CITY
MUSIC HALL
(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the
Bellefonte Area High School's Concert Choir milestone event, performing
ahead of the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.
On Monday, December 16, 32 students from Bellefonte Area High School
will take the stage as the opening act for the Rockettes' Radio City
Christmas Spectacular in New York City.
The Bellefonte Area High School Concert Choir was selected to
participate in Radio City's ``Sounds of Christmas Experience,'' a
program that allows groups to apply to perform as openers for the
Christmas Spectacular.
For their 5-minute holiday-themed a cappella performance, BAHS will
perform two pieces: ``Noel Nouvelet,'' a setting of a French carol, and
a vocal jazz setting of ``It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.''
Mr. Speaker, the Rockettes' Radio City Christmas Spectacular is a
cherished tradition that brings the spirit of Christmas to life for
audiences from around the world.
Congratulations to the Bellefonte Area High School Concert Choir for
their dedication, hard work, and their contributions to the iconic
Christmas Spectacular.
