Grace G. – Denver, Colorado … The sixth of December was a day of music and Christmas spirit. Students from Mile High Academy (MHA) in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, performed “Feast of Lights” at Campion Academy in Loveland, Colorado, in the morning and then followed it up with another performance at the Denver South Seventh-day Adventist Church in the evening.
Sophomore student Adeline P. had this to say about the events: “Feast of Lights was a great, but tiring, experience. We traveled back and forth to sing. I had a good time. I am an alto, and my favorite songs to sing were ‘Masters In this Hall’ and ‘The Coming of The Lord.’”
Students commented on how beautiful it was to see all the candles lit at the end of the service—a symbol of light and hope in the Second Coming of Christ. It was a firm reminder that this season is all about the birth of Jesus.
“My experience [performing] as part of the choir in Feast of Lights was amazing! I had a lot of fun singing different songs and enjoyed watching the drama. My favorite song was ‘Bless the Children,’ because we had a small group of children that sang with us,” said Annabelle D., a junior student at MHA and part of the student select choir VOCE.
“It was beautiful to see Campion Academy, community members, and Mile High Academy all come together to perform in this yearly celebration,” remarked senior student Grace G. “And let’s not forget the key to the whole event, Mrs. [Debbie] Miranda—head of the MHA music program. The event included a huge shout-out to her for organizing the event, as well as the important role she plays in the community.”
