There was a live broadcast of the television hit “North Pole
Stars” at the Exeter-Milligan gymnasium on Tuesday, December 1.
The Exeter-Milligan Kindergarten through sixth graders
presented their Christmas program to a packed audience.
The evening program was opened by the fifth grade band
members who performed “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas” before the sixth graders
joined them to perform ”Up On The Housetop”. The sixth graders performed
“Do You Hear What I Hear” on their own.
First up on the stage were the Exeter-Milligan TYKE
preschool group. They enthralled the audience with their performance of
“Up on the Housetop” especially as they played kazoos for one of the
verses. They also performed ”Way Up High On The Christmas Tree” shaking
all the candy canes off the tree and filling their tummies.
The show “North Pole Star” got underway with
introductions. The audience met Snowcrest, (Braden Capek) who was the
host of the “American Idol” type show. The Reindeer were auditioning for
a starring role in the front of Santa’s sleigh along with a recording contract
from “famous” LA record label producer Creulle (Kole Svec). Santa (Wesley
Ronne) and Mrs. Claus (Emma Olsen) were seated at the judge’s table with
Creulle.
Dasher, Prancer, Dancer, Vixen (and the Vixenettes), Comet,
Cupid, Donner and Blitzen (and his gang of blitzers) all took turns performing
their numbers before there was a television break and the audience was invited
to vote for their favorite reindeer.
During the break Mrs. Angie Murphy directed the
kindergarten, first and second grade classes in performing five songs included
the “Frozen” favorite, “Do You Want To Build A Snowman.” The audience
especially enjoyed the dancing when the students performed “Blitzen’s Boogie.”
Returning from the break it was announced that the winner of
the “North Pole Star” was comedian Comet (Chase Vnoucek) who took the
announcement humbly and declared that all of the reindeer were winners and they
would all share the trophy.
The full cast sang “We Are All Winners Here,” before the
audience enjoyed a Christmas tea in the cafeteria.
