WHEELING - The holiday show will go on for Wheeling Park High School music students and the public.
The students managed to produce a holiday performance despite the difficulties resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio County Schools announced Monday.
The recorded WPHS holiday performance will be shown in its entirety at 7 p.m. on Dec. 24 and 25 on WTRF-TV. The performances will also be shown on the school’s television station, WPHP, and West Liberty University's Topper Nation.
Wheeling Park Co-Choir Director Joyce Jingle said students worked on the music individually at home and through virtual LIVE instruction with their directors.
She said students took advantage of the opportunity to rehearse and record when the West Virginia map permitted them to come together.
The string orchestra recorded on Nov. 20. The choir rehearsed the weekend and days prior to Thanksgiving and recorded on December 13., she said.
"We are grateful to our production staff for their flexibility during this process and willingness to help us bring these Holiday Greetings to the community," Jingle said. "Thank you to the Ohio County Schools administration for encouraging us to persevere in our efforts to provide this opportunity for our students."
