11 December brought our community together to celebrate the talents and dedication of our student musicians, singers, and dancers during the Winter Band, Chorus, and Dance Concerts. Each performance showcased months of hard work, creativity, and collaboration—bringing the spirit, and stories, of the season to life through the arts. Under the direction of Mr. Brian White, Director of Bands, our Middle School and High School Band students took the stage with con dence and enthusiasm, demonstrating musical growth and a shared love for performance. Our Winter Chorus Concert, led by Mr. Andy Pratt, Vocal & Theatre Director, featured choir students in grades 7–12 presenting an evening of festive music that captured both the joy and re ection of the holiday season. The Winter Dance Concert, directed by Dance Instructors Ms. Kristie Schillaci and Ms. Kiana Cotton, featured ve dynamic pieces highlighting artistry, expression, and movement, paired with music that embraced the magic of the season—including a spirited performance set to Justin Bieber’s Drummer Boy. These performances were made possible through the support of Ms. Emma Mousaw, Tech Director; Mrs. Lorin Easton, Chair of the Fine Arts Department; Al Mosher P’10 & ’12, photographer; and the dedicated Aquinas Administration and Maintenance sta . We are grateful to everyone who joined us in support of our arts programs. The performing arts play a vital role in education—fostering creativity, con dence, discipline, and self-expression—and at AQ, they are not an “extra,” but a space where students discover their voices and bring their stories to life.
