LANSING, Ill. (November 30, 2021) – Choirs from both TF South and TF North took to the Lansing Library stage to usher in the Christmas season, and mark the grand opening of the Festival of Lights exhibit at the Lansing Historical Society museum.
Choir performances
Welcomed by museum curator Barb Dust, the TFS and TFN choirs each performed a couple songs before gathering as a combined choir to lead the audience in singing some classic carols.
The TF North choir performed first, led by director William Spakowski.
The TF South choir followed, directed by Julie Potsic. The choir sang Where Are You Christmas? and Mary, Did You Know?
The combined choir led the crowd in singing Deck the Halls, Joy to the World, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Silent Night.

After the performance, the Festival of Lights officially opened. More details about the annual, diverse tradition is available in this article:

It was great to have both the TFN and TFS choirs participating in the opening of the Festival of Lights. These young people are excellent examples of the outstanding students we have in District 215.
