The Jamestown High School A’Cappella Choir performed for the Rotary Club of Jamestown in the First Lutheran Church chancel.
The Men of Tomorrow took center stage then to sing a favorite, "Little Innocent Lamb," and not to be outdone, the Ladies of Today sang "Candle in December." A favorite of the crowd was Ray Charles' arrangement of "Jingle Bells" sung by the Madrigal Singers.
After "Angels We Have Heard on High" and a Spanish carol "Riu, Riu, Chiu," the choir performed part one of Handel's "Messiah," including: And the Glory of the Lord; Oh Come Good Tidings to Zion; For Unto Us a Child is Born; and Glory to God including solo performances by several of the youth.
