Many visitors stop by to watch the show each night. Joseph Engleman, a freshman at WRHS explains why he enjoyed the show.

“I liked the lights synchronized with the music. The tree looked fantastic, the colors were so vibrant, and the tree itself was very bright!” explains Engleman, “They were familiar songs. I immediately recognized Carol of the Bells. Trans-Siberian made a great rendition of it. I enjoyed it, even if it was my 2nd time.” 

The show made good first impressions on a visitor, Aileen Zhen.

“It is a lot different than I imagined,” said Zhen, “I thought it was just going to be a performance, with a boring Christmas tree, but it turned out to be way more than that!”
