Sils Sing for the Holidays at The White House!

On December 21st, 2015, The Sils had the amazing opportunity to sing for visitors of the White House for the yearly Holidays at The White House event. We had such a great time performing our holiday repertoire which included songs such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Winter Song, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), and a few other holiday favorites! After we sang, we got the privilege of touring the White House and seeing all of the beautiful decorations which included giant Christmas trees decorated with beautiful ornaments, giant Nutcrackers and stuffed toy bears, and a hallway filled with tons of hanging snowflakes. All of the Sils had such an amazing time, and it was definitely a highlight of the semester and holiday season!
