Last week, the PHS students and staff were welcomed by a group of special carolers to share some holiday joy. A number of choir students performed to kick-off the last day of school before their winter holiday break. 🎄
We wrapped up our holiday performances at the 2025 PHS Winter Musicale Concert. The evening was filled with outstanding performances by the PHS Choir and Band departments, creating a wonderfully festive and beautiful evening at the Plainwell Performing Arts Center!

In the spirit of the season, the PHS Multicultural Club enjoyed an amazing outing to Frederik Meijer Gardens and the German Christkindl Markt in Grand Rapids! Students explored stunning Christmas tree displays and learned about holiday traditions from around the world. They also toured the German Christmas village, sampling delicious foods and browsing unique artisan gifts.
It was a wonderful way to experience new cultures, celebrate the season and make memories together!

During Thanksgiving Break, the PHS Band and Choir students took an exciting trip to Orlando. There, they had the chance to explore both Disney World and Universal Studios, where both programs participated in a workshop experience and had the opportunity to showcase their talents in a performance. Highlights from their workshops and performances include:
🎺 The Band students had the incredible opportunity to participate in a workshop at Universal Studios. They went behind the scenes and recorded a backtrack for a scene from "Despicable Me". Additionally, the students were able to voice the beloved characters as voice actors and create sound effects. For their performance, they took part in a marching parade down Main Street at Magic Kingdom.
🎤 The Choir program's workshop involved recording two scenes from "Tangled," including both music and vocals. For their performance, they showcased their talent on the Mainstage at Universal, right in front of the Hard Rock Cafe!
This trip provided the Trojans with an unforgettable opportunity filled with unique experiences, amazing memories and perfect weather!

Who doesn't love a great holiday tradition?! It was great fun at Gilkey, Cooper and Starr Elementary Schools as some of the Middle and High School choir members performed for the students at their annual holiday caroling tour throughout the district. This annual caroling event includes a number of holiday classic songs, as well as a few new favorites. It is always a favorite for all the students and staff involved, the smiles were priceless!
