Several times throughout the program, the director invited audience participation. Those in attendance were asked to join in on the festivities by singing along to Christmas favorites such as "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", "Deck the Halls," "Jingle Bells" and others.
In addition to a number of beautifully performed Christmas songs by the group, soprano Kara Mulder brought the audience to its feet with a solo rendition of "O Holy Night".
