4-5 graders: arrive at 7:25pm (or come early to hear the others). Sing from 7:30-7:55ish
Wardrobe:
Black on the bottom, solid white on top. If you don't have black pants, wear the darkest you have. Ladies, skirts are a-okay. Make sure your shirt is plain without a logo or pattern. Please no Santa hats (sorry!).

Songs for Hanukkah
Our concert in December just wouldn't be complete without some holiday cheer! In addition to our old favorites we're learning some really fun songs for Hanukkah, and we'll be employing accelerando (gradually speeding up) and crescendo (gradually getting louder) to them both!
Burn Little Candles (2-3 grades)
Burn Little Candles (2-3 grades)
Burn, little candles, burn, burn, burn
Burning bright and clear
Burn, little candles, burn, burn, burn
Hanukkah is here
Eight little candles in a row
Hanukkah is here
Eight little candles in a row
Burn so bright and clear
Dance little candles, dance, dance, dance
Hanukkah is here
Dance little candles, dance, dance, dance
Hanukkah is here
Light the Candles (4-5 grades)
Light the little candles and sing a song for Hanukkah
Dreidels spinning gaily for Hanukkah is here
Turning, turning, hora dancers turn and turn
Burning, burning, see the bright Menorah burn
Hanukkah time is here, let’s all be happy
Hanukkah time is here, la la la la la
