Joy to the WorldJoy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;Let every heart prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing,And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven and nature sing!

O Come, All Ye FaithfulO come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!

O come ye, o come ye to Bethlehem!O come and behold Him, born the King of Angels.

O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,O come, let us adore Him,

Christ the Lord!

Hark! The Herald Angels SingHark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King:

Peace on earth, and mercy mild,God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,Join the triumph of the skies;With angelic hosts proclaim,

“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”Hark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King!”

Silent NightSilent night, holy night!

All is calm, and all is brightRound yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

Holy infant, so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night!Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar,Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia!

Christ the Savior is born!Christ the Savior is born!”

Dear Greeley West Spartan Strings Community,

Thank you for attending this evening’s “Celebration of Strings” at Greeley West HighSchool. The music that has been made over the years in this building is remarkable.There are many alumni who have gone on to become celebrated performers,composers, and teachers of string music, but hopefully all who have performed onthis stage have learned to appreciate the beauty of string music.

Tonight we close the chapter of performing in this space which has been our home forthe past 20+ years, however, the many memories made here will last beyond thisbuilding. The program has always been and always will be about the people, which iswho we celebrate tonight.

While change is constant, the magic created with wood, wire, and horsehair has beenresonating for centuries. It is a joy and honor to share in that magic with thesestudents and in this community.

Please keep an eye out for a monthly newsletter beginning in January to keep ourcommunity updated on events that will be taking place!

Once again, thank you for your support of the arts at Greeley West!All for One, One for All, All for West!

Musically,Mr. Tom Nugent

Special Appreciation for:❖ Chet Arthur, Band Director❖ Peggy Freemole, Theatre Director❖ Angela Slaughter, Choral Director❖ Music Boosters❖ Friends and Family, for unending support!
