Jazz Choir sang a variety of songs including an arrangement of, Grim Grinning Ghosts, from The Haunted Mansion. Jazz also performed a rendition of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which left the crowd cheering. Chamber Choir performed an array of songs, including, I Put a Spell on You by Annnie Lennox and popularized by the Halloween movie Hocus Pocus.

The choirs visited elementary and middle schools around the district throughout the day as well. “One of the best parts was visiting the elementary schools,” sophomore, Stephanie Farnsworth, said, “and getting to inspire the kids there.”  “[It was] a lot of work but so much fun,” said senior, Dylan Harrison.  Jazz and Chamber were able to spread Halloween cheer to the North and the district.  “When you love what you’re doing,” MK Lee, Jazz senior, said, “you want to share it with everyone who will listen.” Before school, they managed to completely stop all activity in the CCC as they performed from the balcony to the student body below. The performances were all met with loud cheers, particularly the one in the front office. Students and staff alike enjoyed the “spooky” performances.
