Anthony Godfrey:

Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. It was a magical night of holiday music at Herriman High School as students from across the district gathered for a Christmas concert like no other. On this episode of the Supercast, we invite you to enjoy music that is bound to put you in the holiday spirit, performed by some really talented high school students. What makes this concert even more incredible? The show went on despite a school-wide power outage. It didn't stop students from singing their hearts out for the holidays.

Speaker 1:

Good evening, this is Riverton High School. Great to be with you. We'd like to sing for you first, an African American spiritual called Children, Go Where I Send Thee. It is an old familiar one, often sung with Christmas. The composer did some fun things to bring it into 2022, so you'll hear a rap and you'll hear an Audra McDonald type soloist. So that is Kate on the solo and Peter on the rap. We’ll have them come way forward so hopefully you can hear them. And we’ll ask the choir to go way down on their solo, we'll adjust. Thank you.

Soloist Singing:

Children, go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

Choir:

Children, go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee one by one

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Laid down in a manger

That’s born, born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send you two by two

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Laid down in a manger

That’s born, born, born, born in Bethlehem

Children, go where I send thee

How shall I send thee?

I'm gonna send thee ten by ten

Ten for ten commandments

Nine for the nine that dressed so fine

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate

Seven for the seven that went up to heaven

Six for the six that never got fixed

Five the for gospel preachers

Four for the four that stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped in swaddling clothing

Laid down in a manger

That’s born, born, born, born in Bethlehem.

Peter (rapping):

The story that I’m writin’, seed to sow is never ending

everlasting to everlasting and you know it’s on to heaven,

You get the God message in the aim is a lesson

and quit the instant messin and the messages are festerin’

Softening our hearts and it’s reachin’ all the people.

We do this in the streets and underneath the steeple.

Rather talk the talk but the young ones walk the walk.

They are crawlin’ in the dark but my voice it is the torch.

Drink the milk, eat the meat, fallin’ at the Savior’s feet.

The sinner take a peek, everybody take a peek

at the heart of the matter he’s the King of Kings.

Married to the church I got the Lord of the rings.

Gold streets where I’m dancin’, Father got mansions,

beauty in God imagine. What do you fathom?

You heard this story to grow. Hey! So it’s time to go!

Hey! Hey! You heard this story to grow.

Love and light so it’s time to go!

Hey! You heard this story to grow.

Love and light so it’s time to go!

I'm gonna send thee ten by ten

Ten for ten commandments

Nine for the nine that dressed so fine

Eight for the eight that stood at the gate

Seven for the seven that went up to heaven

Six for the six that never got fixed, and he never got fixed, and he never got fixed, so he never got fixed, so he never got fixed.

Five the for gospel preachers

Four for the four that stood at the door

Three for the Hebrew children

Two for Paul and Silas

One for the little bitty baby

Wrapped all up in swaddling clothing

Laid down in a manger.

That’s born, born, born, born, born, born, born, born!

Soloist singing:

Children go where I send thee.

How shall I send thee?

Good evening. This is a Legacy Choir from Mountain Ridge High School. We are pleased to sing Ola Gjeilo’s Tundra, conducted by our beloved student teacher, Bryce Hammond.

Choir Singing:

Wide, worn and weathered,

Sacred expanse

Of green and white and granite grey;

Snowy patches strewn,

Anchored to the craggy earth,

Unmoving, unmoving;

While clouds dance

Across the vast, eternal sky, eternal sky.

While clouds dance

Across the vast, eternal sky.

Hello everyone, good evening. We are Bingham High School A Capella choir, and we'll end with a perennial American favorite, Jingle Bells.

Choir Singing:

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle.

Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snow,

in a one-horse open sleigh.

O’er the fields we go,

laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtails ring,

making spirits bright.

What fun it is to ride and sing

a sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side,

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh. Hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh.

A one horse open sleigh.
