Buddy the Elf said it best: “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear”

Sunday Dec. 12 marked the annual madrigals dinner. The dinner is a Christmas tradition dating back to 16th century England.
Senior Luiza Zanon reads a note that was sent to her. Members of the Madrigals were dressed in traditional renaissance clothing seated at a candle lit long table.
As a part of the dinner notes were exchanged between Madrigals and members of the audience.
Notes were sealed in wax then stamped close.
Seniors Jeongmin Lee and Olivia Macina read a delivered note. Besides the letters there were other many traditions on this night back in history.

The Boars head is used to symbolize peace and prosperity.
But the Madrigals dinner had plenty of singing as well.
After dinner, The Madrigals went around to each table singing songs and bringing up the Christmas spirt.

The Madrigals finished off the night with a hush. Singing silent night to end a magical performance.
