"The Orchard View Show Choir did the "Zoom thing" and they mastered it. It's as good as you've seen on any of the networks by producers who make a lot more than anyone in schools and the idea behind it all, is to give our local kids a chance to shine, when it seemed that all might be lost to a year that's taken more than it's deserved! So, as they say, without further adieu... Ladies and Gentlemen...The Orchard View Show Choir!"
How you look at this year is up to you. For most, letting it all go would be just fine thank you very much. For others though, it's been a matter of finding ways to accomplish something under circumstances beyond the control of anyone and we're seeing from more than one of out incredibly talented groups of young people that the saying holds true - "the show must go on".
But that show? All the stages are closed. We can't really gather in groups without masks and social distancing and for some of our young people, the years of practice, the hours of determination, the afterschool practices, the singing at home, it's no different than any other school endeavor. Be it athletics, robotics, arts or any other extra curricular activity, the time spent in them adds to a well rounded education and the pay off for the dedication shouldn't be shut off due to the inability for an audience to gather!
Well, as luck would have it, we can bring the show to you. Under the direction of Bradley Saniga the Orchard View Show Choir released 5 days of carols and they have even put them all together in one piece we can share with you right here on The Muskegon Channel! Not only can you see all of them together, you can see them on the big screen. We have The Muskegon Channel available free for your Roku or Amazon Fire TV device.
