From Burbank Wire:

“The auditorium stage will be home to choirs: Powerhouse, Sound Sensations, Sound Waves, Decibelles and the Vocal Ensemble along with the Concert Band, Big Band and selected instrumental and vocal solos. They will be performing a diverse selection of holiday music featuring classical lyrics to contemporary big band sounds, from Christmas to Chanukah to New Years reveling which will leave the audience filled with the holiday spirit. There will be vocal soloists performing with the Big Band and soloists with acoustic guitars. A guaranteed highlight will be the numbers when the combined choirs and bands unite onstage, with over 300 students performing together! The Vocal Music Association is under the direction of Brendan Jennings and the Instrumental Music Association under the direction of Tana Barnett, both teachers at John Burroughs High School, who are proud to unite all their students in this festive performance. The Holiday Spectacular 2009 is under the creative direction of Scott Dove and supported by Jon King and the Burroughs Tech Crew.”

In keeping with the tradition of the choir, the performance will end with alumni invited up onstage to join in with their rendition of Silent Night, which features a special solo by a specially selected senior student.
