And what better way than to hear our children sing.”
Some Christmas songs they will perform include “Perfect Christmas Night,” “The Angels Sang,” and ukulele songs written by Sasil: “Little Drummer Boy,” and “Kolohe Christmas.”
“We have a wonderful selection of Christmas and holiday songs this year to bring in the season,” Lardizabal said.
