This weekend was the annual Cocoa and Carols at Kennedy. This is where all the “feeder schools,” Elementary and Middle, come to Kennedy and performs, meaning sing and/or dance some holiday songs in three different shows. Different schools perform in each show. Kennedy’s three show choirs, Chanteurs, Protégé, and Happiness Inc, and its jazz vocal group, Moonlight, also perform in all three shows.
I love when cocoa and carols rolls around. It’s always fun to see all the little kids singing their songs and doing their cute dances and everything. My favorite part of the show is when all of the high schoolers performing get up on stage and we all sing Rudolph with the crowd. I think its most of the kid’s favorites too because they always get really into it. We have actions that go along with the song. Whenever and action is done, the action takes the place of the word. For example, when reindeer is sung everyone puts up reindeer antlers. This action is my favorite because about a fourth of the audience does the reindeer action whenever Rudolph is sung and their faces are always funny because they know they made a mistake right away. It’s priceless.
After every school has performed, all audience members and performers are encouraged to migrate to the cafeteria where they can eat cookies and drink hot cocoa. This is where the name Cocoa and Carols comes from. The cocoa is always pretty good and if you ask, they’d be more than willing to put little marshmallows in it for you. This is a chance to mingle and have fun just talking to a bunch of different people and complimenting and giving compliments. Hot cocoa and cookies always puts people in a good mood. There are always so many different types of cookies to choose from and they’re all always so delicious as well. It’s all around a good day. Everyone is surrounded by friends and holiday spirit and best of all, hot cocoa and cookies!
