Top: REINDEER ROCK – South Barber's fifth and sixth graders obviously have a blast performing "Reindeer Rock" at their Winter Concert. Their vocal director, Cathy Cox, is also having fun leading them in the rap. Accompanist Nikki Brattin receives only high praise from everyone for her keyboard talents and accompanying all the vocalists at the Christmas concerts. Students shown are (from left, back) Tess Dunn, Brantlee Fox, Colton Richey, Dillon Luper, Trilbey Dorsey and Rose Thompson; (middle) Ethan Mader (sort of hidden), Leah Rosenberger, Braelyn Durham, Lily Schurter, Dayton Masters, Laura Brown and Cort Blunk; (third row) Malinda Sanpaka; Noah Allen, Kaleb Carwile, Danielle MacKinney, Fiona Walz, Garen Cantrell, Brayden Duvall and Paxton Clark; (front) Joshua MacKinney, Lydia Sciara, Lily Dunham, Angel Stewart, Kenslea Schupbach, Anessa Courson, Abigail Scoughton and Reignie Coggins. Bottom Left: STEALIN' THE SHOW – While older students watch, pre-K students are sweeter than a candy cane as they sing their Christmas song (with the help of their teacher Becky Buckle) during the South Barber Elementary School Winter Concert. The cuties (just some of the class) are: (from left) Ronan Henry, Creed Thompson, Tacksen Ricke, Brantley Stroh, Luella Bogatay and Adriaan Mostert. Bottom Middle: THIS CHRISTMAS PROGRAM IS FUN – It's all smiles with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads for these first and second graders. They perform under the direction of the school's vocal director Cathy Cox at South Barber Elementary School's Winter Concert. They sing about "When Santa Gets Your Letter," and the anticipation of what he'll bring Christmas Eve. Students shown from top: Bradley Cropp, Makenna Brattin (left), Janda Goodno and Jenna Shields (front). Bottom Right: RESEMBLING RUDOLPH – There couldn't be a cuter Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer than kindergartner Kaleb Cornell. He performs with his class at the South Barber Elementary School's Winter Concert directed by Cathy Cox.
