The seventh and eighth grade Intermediate band played songs, such as “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” and “Jingle Bell Rock.”

Sequim High School’s Jazz Ensemble was joined by Sequim High choir member Peale Peterson who sang in game two of the World Series.

They sang and played “Let it Snow” and “All I want for Christmas is You” together while Peterson sang “I’ll be Home for Christmas” a capella.

The bands were led by director George Rodes.
