The Orchestra

After the audience is seated, the First Violinist arrives. The orchestra tunes up, and then Conductor Nancy Sulahian takes her place in front of this grand orchestra. For the next ten minutes the audience is treated to holiday music while the Processional makes its way to the theatre.

The Processional Down Main Street

The Processional begins in Town Square and walks the length of Main Street, down the parade route passing Sleeping Beauty's Castle, the Matterhorn, and its a small world, for its arrival into the theatre

The Entry into the Theatre

With the conclusion of the introductory music, the choir arrives, entering the theatre through the audience. Aisles are packed with choir members, each holding a tiny candle. Arriving at the stage, the choir assembles behind the orchestra
