We went today to the christmas concert in Torch middle school. The choir songs were really good, the band played some jazz and had a good performance. My only complaint is to the organization, they invited too many people without having enough chairs, we had no programs, and the next time it would be good to have a host to inform us what music and performers are on stage.
